RAT RUN 32: Veracity

Not graded yet

The brief

Normal sudoku rules apply.

AIM OF EXPERIMENT: Finkz and Phinx must both reach cupcakes by finding a path through the maze. The paths must not visit any cell more than once, share cells, or pass through any thick maze walls. No diagonal moves are possible in this maze.

  • BLACKCURRANTS: If two digits are joined by a blackcurrant, one is double the other.
  • REDCURRANTS: If two digits are joined by a redcurrant, one is odd and the other is even.
  • GOLDENBERRIES: If two digits are joined by a goldenberry, they are non-consecutive.
  • GRAPES: If two digits are joined by a grape, they have a difference of at least 5.
  • MOTION SENSORS: A digit on a motion sensor indicates exactly how many cells in the (up to 9) surrounding cells are visited by a rat.

TEST CONSTRAINT: In this experiment, some clues are fake! (A fake clue breaks its rule in the list above.)

All clues that Phinx passes through are fake. All other clues are truthful (ie; those passed through by Finkz, and those unvisited by either rat.) It is to be determined which rat is which.
