Cat Fun
(Eingestellt am 24. November 2024, 07:55 Uhr von Scojo)
Inspired by and dedicated to Marty Sears, a treasure in the sudoku world. This puzzle was set for the CTC Discord's November 2024 monthly prompt of "Borrowed Ideas."
Rules:- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Leon the cat has the zoomies and is zipping around Scojo's house. Leon must create a path through the house to expend all of his excess energy, then go to sleep in the bed. His path must not visit any cell more than once, cross itself, or pass through any purple walls. As well as moving orthogonally, Leon may move diagonally if there's a 2x2 space in which to do so, but may never pass diagonally through the sharp corner of a wall.
- Kropki: Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.
- Path Constraint: Region borders divide the path into segments. Each segment of the path acts as a zipper line, meaning that each pair of digits equidistant from the center of the segment must have the same sum. For odd length segments, that sum will be the digit in the center of the segment.

Lösungscode: Digits on the path in row 8

Thank you for this great puzzle, Scojo! What a wonderful tribute to Marty! A tough nut to crack, but I enjoyed any second of it. Absolutely stunning setting!

Wow!
Thankyou so much Scojo for the very kind words and for this outstanding homage! And also for being a massive supporter of the Rat Run series - it is much appreciated.
It was a slightly unusual experience solving this puzzle, which felt so familiar, yet I didn't make it! However, there is plenty of fresh logic in here, and certainly some of Scojo's own style and flair mixed in too.
I found it very difficult, especially towards the end, but there were some real moments of brilliance. I hope Leon enjoyed his nap time on the comfy bed :)

Very nice! I guarantee that Leon doesn't feel as tired as my brain does.

Absolutely loved this!
Leon can chase this rat round the grid as often as he likes, as long as he knows when he catches me he shall be very squished and loved!
