RAT RUN 11: Limited Addition
(Eingestellt am 23. Oktober 2024, 01:11 Uhr von marty_sears)
- Normal sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box (marked with dotted lines.)
- AIM OF EXPERIMENT: Finkz the rat must reach the cupcake by finding a path through the maze. The path must not visit any cell more than once, cross itself, or pass through any thick maze walls.
- As well as moving orthogonally, Finkz may move diagonally if there's a 2x2 space in which to do so, but may never pass diagonally through a round wall-spot on the corner of a cell.
- TELEPORTS: Entering a teleport will cause Finkz to be instantly transported to the matching coloured teleport. From there she can continue her journey. Matching teleports always have identical digits, but teleports that don't match always have different digits.
- REDCURRANTS: A redcurrant always sits between an even digit and an odd digit.
- TEST CONSTRAINT: In this experiment, any cell on the path equals the digit at the top of its column plus the digit at the left-hand end of its row.
Lösungscode: Digits NOT on the path in column 6, reading downwards

Lovely return of Finkz! While Finkz might not have gone rusty during her two month break, I apparently have since it took me ages to get the hang of how to figure out the path.

So glad Finkz is back! I love that little rat! These puzzles are always my favourite by far! Looking forward to next week!

I think I took the long way around breaking into this, so I was very slow (although I haven't attempted any of the previous puzzles in this series so perhaps that was my mistake!). Once I'd cracked it, it was an absolute joy. I chuckled to myself many times. Thankyou for yet another fantastic puzzle.

Nice novelty with the Sum constraint!

Wow, this was really fun! So glad you're back at it with this series.
Took me a few minutes to figure out the start, but after that it was steady progress, and i only figured out the meaning of the title halfway through LOL

My favourite sudoku series is back with a strong return. Some of the logic is pretty different from past puzzles in the series, proving you can still keep fresh.

I'm so glad this series is back. I love Chekhov's Transporter B theme and wonder where it will lead us.

Why is this so fun? I think it's because the stakes are high for finkz.

Finkz is back and she hasn’t lost any of her extraordinary skills! (Nor has her creator.) I‘m so happy. Thank you so much for starting the new series, Marty.

Got the honor of testing this. Great start to the second season of the best sudoku series out there. Not super challenging but really fun and fresh.
