RAT RUN 27: Productivity

The brief

Normal sudoku rules apply.

AIM OF EXPERIMENT: 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, share cells, cross themselves or each other, 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.

GOLDENBERRIES: If two digits are joined by a goldenberry, they are NOT consecutive.

TEST CONSTRAINT: In this experiment, both paths are divided into segments by 3x3 box borders. Along a path, the digits on each segment have the same product (the result of multiplying the digits on the segment together.) This product may be different for Finkz and Phinx. Note: if a segment contains only one cell, that digit is considered to be the product.
