Happy New Year (of the Snake!)
323Happy New Year, Here's where you can try the Year of the Snake, themed on 2025, by Adrian: https://sudokupad.app/qss44f03sx
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in ordinary killer cages sum to the given total and cannot repeat in a cage. Digits in golden cages multiply to the given total and can repeat in a cage. Digits on one of the main diagonals sum to 20. Digits on the other main diagonal sum to 25.
To celebrate the year of the snake, a snake is hiding in the puzzle. This snake can move horizontally, vertically and diagonally from digit to digit, but cannot cross itself or visit digits in any cages. The snake is 12 digits long and has both modular and entropic properties, ie. each set of 3 consecutive digits has one from {123}, one from {456} and one from {789}, also one from {147}, one from {258} and one from {369}.
