Currently Playing: How Does He Keep Doing This?! Rat Run 38: Synchonicity (S3:E18)

As mentioned in the video introduction, Marty has designed some incredible Rat Run merchandise: https://cracking-the-cryptric-shop.fourthwall.com/en-gbp/collections/rat-run And you can hear Simon recite the story so far here: https://youtu.be/kCF9uLrsEus *** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** Simon returns from Carne (County Mayo) not wanting to see another Guinness to find the latest Rat Run sudoku waiting for him. This one, number 38, is called Synchronicity and it's one of Marty Sears' best ever... which is saying quite something. The idea behind this is completely ridiculous and the execution... well, it's pretty astonishing if you stop to think about it. Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/up5nrki10o Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Finkz and Phinx must both reach different cupcakes by finding a path through the maze. The paths must not visit any cell more than once, cross themselves or each other, or pass through any thick maze walls. There is no space to move diagonally in this maze. If two digits are joined by a blackcurrant, one is double the other. A purple arrow always points to the smaller of the two digits it sits between, and may only be passed through in the direction it's pointing. In this experiment, any two digits visited adjacently along a path must be different parities (one is odd and the other is even), and also have a difference of at least 5. ▶ SIMON & MARK ATTEMPT BLUE PRINCE: THE SUDOKU ◀ This new epic (and epically long) video is now on Patreon (as well as our monthly sudoku hunt competition by Sandra & Nala).
