Striped snake (halvers and doublers)
(Eingestellt am 23. Mai 2025, 14:06 Uhr von Lizzy01)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Shade some cells to form a snake, i.e. a one cell wide path of cells that does not branch, cross or touch itself orthogonally (but may touch diagonally).
Along the snake digits alternate odd and even parity, the odd digits of which have a doubled and the even digits a halved value. (Digits not on the snake are unaffected)
Values along arrows add up to the value in the circle.
If you like puzzles with slightly strange rules like this one, you may also like to check out this puzzle by starwarigami. There were a few oversights in it at first which I helped fix. The puzzle is completely playable now (and with some very nice logic), but nobody has solved it since it got fixed! I'm sure starwarigami would love it if you have a go at it.

Though puzzle, but I also did a really poor job solving it.

Amazing puzzle with a very smooth and natural flow to it. Liked it quite a lot! The logic is superb, the options are not superfluous, snake behaviour is very nice. Thank you for sharing it!

I didn’t see the alternating parity and got stuck for an hour! How blind I am!!! :(

The opening to this was quite tough for me to see but beautiful once found. Rest of the puzzle flowed very smoothly after that. I love how a single arrow serves multiple purposes at different steps of the solve. Very well constructed.
--Thank you!
