Goal of the puzzle:
- Draw a line to get Zibl from the bed to the bread so he can get some breakfast. The line may only move orthogonally. The line may not enter the same cell twice, cross itself, or pass through any of the thick green walls. The line MAY touch itself orthogonally and diagonally.
Rules:
1. Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 - 9 once each in every row, column, and box.
2. SOCKS: Digits separated by socks are consecutive. Not all socks are given.
3. TAKEOUT: Digits separated by takeout boxes have a 1:2 ratio, one digit is double the other. Not all takeout boxes are given.
3. CAGES: Digits in a cage sum to the digit in the top left corner. Cages are great places to drop off socks and empty boxes.
4. ONE-WAY DOORS: Brown arrows work as one-way doors. The line may only pass through in the direction of the arrow. The arrow points towards the smaller of the two numbers.
5. SPECIAL CONSTRAINTS:
- The line is entropic. Every set of three digits along the line must be one low (123), one middle (456), and one high (789) digit.
- The line must pick up (go through) every pair of socks and every takeout box, and enter every cage at least once before reaching the bread.

Very nice maze! I'd give it more of a two star difficulty rating but I play with cage calculators available so that might have given me a slight edge.

I was going to put this at 2 stars but testers said it was closer to 3. Will be interesting to see where it ends up. :)
