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 *** Another astonishing "sudoku" in the most extraordinary sudoku series of all time. Marty Sears's Rat Run No. 37 "Fruitful" will leave you scratching you head in despair and admiration in equal measure as you try and find he logical paths for our intrepid rats. We reckon this is one of the easiest puzzles to make a logical error in that we've ever seen... let's hope Simon didn't!! Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/9qx3iprv0x Rules: Fill the grid with the digits 1-9, so that in each row and column, one of the digits 1-9 is missing, and one of the digits is repeated. Every digit from 1-9 is missing from exactly one row and one column, and repeated in exactly one row and one column. Use the orange arrows to keep track of missing digits, and the blue arrows to keep track of repeated digits. 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, share cells, cross themselves or each other, or pass through any thick maze walls. As well as moving orthogonally, they 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. A red X may not be passed through, and sits between two digits that sum to 10. If a blackcurrant sits between two digits, one is double the other. If a redcurrant sits between two digits, one is odd and the other is even. If a grape sits between two digits, they have a difference of at least 5. If a goldenberry sits between two digits, they are not consecutive (or the same.) In this experiment, a rat's path is divided into segments by any fruit she eats. The digits on each segment have the same sum, to be determined. This 'segment sum' may be different for Finkz and Phinx. ▶ 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).
