Galaxy Minesweeper Sudoku
The brief
Normal Sudoku rules apply. There are four paths (spiral arms) of orthogonally or diagonally adjacent cells that contain the digits from 1 to n, in ascending order. All paths end in the central 3x3 box in the cells with the 5, 6, 7 and 8. The paths are found by adding the TOTAL NUMBER OF PINK CELLS (mines) surrounding the cell, including itself. The mines have no effect on the puzzle other than determining the 4 spiral arms.
