Because it uploaded late, the algorithm will punish it unless it feels viewers particularly enjoy it.] *** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** Marty Sears' Rat Run series reached its second puzzle of the third season and a puzzle called Copyrat. What have Finkz and Phinx been up to and how are you going to get them both to a cupcake? It's not quite as straightforward to figure this one out but every step along the way will leave you with a smile on your face! Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/m9qm0m5qj0 Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Finkz and Phinx must both reach cupcakes by finding a path through the maze. The paths must not visit any cell more than once, cross themselves or each other, share cells, or pass through any thick maze walls. As well as moving orthogonally, Finkz and Phinx 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. Find nine copycat cells in the maze; one in each row, column and 3x3 box, and each containing a different digit. The value of a copycat cell equals the digit in the cell that is 180° rotationally opposite it in the grid. Eg: if r1c3 is a 6 and r9c7 is a copycat cell, then r9c7 will have a value of 6, regardless of what digit it contains. If two cells are joined by a blackcurrant then the value of one is double the value of the other. If two cells are joined by a redcurrant then one has an even value and the other has an odd value. If two cells are joined by a grape then their values have a difference of at least 5. In this experiment, in any 3x3 box, the total value of the cells visited by Finkz is the same as the total value of the cells visited by Phinx. (This total must be determined for each box.) ▶CLASSIC SUDOKU 2: OUR BRAND NEW APP ◀ We've released the long-awaited sequel to one of our most popular apps (the original Classic Sudoku).
