Currently Playing: A Death In Sudoku? Rat Run 34: On Reflection (S3:E14)

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 *** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** Marty's done in again with another innovative and fantastic (and emotional!) Rat Run puzzle. This one is called On Reflection and it's rated 3/5 for difficulty... but it isn't THAT easy :) Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/udyn0tghcs 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, share cells, 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. 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. The digit on a grey camera indicates the total SUM of the digits in any visited cells that the camera's lens points towards (before a wall is reached, which blocks vision.) A video camera cell itself may not be entered. In this experiment, all of the low digits in the grid (1s, 2s and 3s) must be visited, but none of the high digits (7s, 8s, and 9s) may be visited. The two rats' paths must be perfect reflections of each other across the positive diagonal (marked with a thin pink line).
