Today's puzzle is by one of our most favourite authors, Phistomefel! Just for a change it's not a sudoku but a little logic problem. At first it looks impossible, can you find the trick to get started?! Play the puzzle on either of these links: https://cracking-the-cryptic.web.app/sudoku/MQbhMHdtr9 https://tinyurl.com/y49edoua (The second link is to Penpa Plus, which allows line drawing - just in case this is helpful to use.) Rules: Draw seven snakes in the grid, each of them seven cells long and none of them intersecting. A snake is a path, which is one cell wide, does not branch and does not touch itself orthogonally. The circles drawn in the grid are endpoints of snakes. Not all endpoints of snakes are given. A snake can contain no circle, one circle or two circles. ************************************************************** Our Patreon page has lots of extra content including Scott Strosahl's Puzzle Hunt, which was released this afternoon!
