Thank you so much to ViKingPrime for all the organisation and more so the copious amount of graphical support (read: making my grid look pretty for me!)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Lösungscode: Digits on the path in r2 from left to right.

Very clever construction. Last sentence of the rules got me thinking. But i got it the way meant. 3.5* to me. Awesome fun thx.

Super fun! I'd not done hit points before, so figuring out how to deal with them (& then with clipboards, too) was a pleasure. I made box 6 harder for myself than it needed to be by ignoring something (spoiler: sudoku), and thought the way b1 and b3 unfolded were great. Thanks so much!

Incredible how far i got not realising that 2 segments in one box had to be the same total. Not segment + segment = total

Is the name of this puzzle pronounced "let us experiment"?

Yes, it is in my head and it think you're the first person to get that! ????

Fun and excellent. This puzzle managed to capture the feeling of the Rat Run series puzzles with the local deductions and surprising alternatives. Box 1 was a great example. Every piece of grid furniture so carefully placed. It felt like a puzzle Marty himself created.

What a fitting tribute, since you and Marty pioneered hitlines. This had me smiling throughout the solve. Also, you‘ve managed to put a unique but quite approachable spin on the Rat Run formula. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Yes I've been slightly obsessed with hitpoints lately!

Very nice and challenging. Thanks for the great puzzle!
I was a bit confused with missing rounded end of a wall between boxes 2 and 3, but the puzzle is solvable anyway.
*** you're right, thank you and sorry

Thank you very much for creating and sharing this beautiful Sudoku-maze. Near the end I was convinced I broke the puzzle while filling a certain cell… ;-)

Scientist Sprint!
Absolutely wonderful, this is one of my favourite puzzles of the whole Extended Rat Run Universe. Very unique and original use of your and Marty's hitlines; they work very well in this way.
I found this on the easier side of 3 stars for difficulty.

Awesome puzzle. Somehow easier, harder, and as hard as it sounds. Kept making wrong assumptions concerning the possibility of folders being in the path

Mmmmm super-lettuce! yumyumyum.
Loved this puzzle, and definitely deserved having a taste of my own medicine. Thankyou for not including any electrification cages or trapdoors x

This all really showed the kind of knock on effect a tweak to the rules wordings can have... that said, having seen all versions of this puzzle, this turned out to be the very best version. Excellent setting, through and through.

Yikes things really got messed yup! Fixed b1 too

Hi Ratfinkz. I can’t work out why but the puzzle appears to keep breaking in box 8. Seems I’m either missing something or misunderstanding the rules. I was loving it up till then. ❤️
Edit: Yep, I did misread them. I didn’t realise it was the SUM not the TOTAL NUMBER. Doh! Sorry about that.

Whoops! Sorry for the confusion

Initial comment: I love the fact you’re calling Marty Sears a mad scientist! :p ❤️

He stuck me in a maze for years and paid me in cupcakes...what would you call him?!

Some walls got changed during the editing. Puzzle link updated

Lovely puzzle, though I believe the path in boxes 2 and 3 is a bit underconstrained and therefore not unique. I might be missing something though.

It seems some walls got rearranged during the editing for publication process. My apologies and thank you very much!
