3 is laughably easy compared to 2 :wowee:

#14349

Rules so far

Summary
  1. All segments of a snake must have the same sum
  2. Circles in a snake must be the length of the snake
  3. Cyan striped head means the number must be even, orange means the number must be odd

Combine the rules you know so far. (also, if yo donā€™t see both end of an insect, it has things to hide.

#14353

I just feel like I canā€™t possibly have enough information unless there was a rule I didnā€™t figure out

Am I supposed to know what those 2 blue stripes at the head of the snakes mean?

#14354

Also you definetly should pencilmark some in the fog.

hint

In a 6x6 sudoku, there are 3 even and 3 odd number in each row and column.)

If you mean the antenna/horn, this isnā€™t the rule you need to know.

#14355

Iā€™m not opening that hint

(because Iā€™m stupid)

#14356

Am I supposed to fill in a number I donā€™t actually know just to clear the fog?

Would that even work?

#14357

No. Every number to fill in is solvable.
(You might assumea new rule wrongly, but in that case, the rules you already learned would notch you, that it is wrong somewhere eventually.)

If you donā€™t see anything new, you definetly have something you can put down.
(Iā€™m slower than Zone in a lot of these things, because I donā€™t like bifurcating.)

#14358

You can put numbers in the fog though. (and sometimes you need to.)

#14359

I also donā€™t want to bifurcate but I really donā€™t know what to do beyond this :pensive:

You definetly missing a rule. (Even though you listed in your rules aboveā€¦ (which is weird), I suggest you to look at puzzle 3 again, and check it more thoroughly.)

#14361

Iā€™m listening to Cracking The Cryptic because I donā€™t understand this one

#14362

ooooooh

Summary

The snakes with the orange/blue stripes are entirely odd/even

I thought it was just the head :pensive:

Now thereā€™s an arrow :eyes:

#14365

Yeah, I needed a little nudge on the final puzzle as well, after I was looking at that for half an hour. (I couldnā€™t find out the correlation by myself, but the moment they brought it up, it clicked before they said the missing step out loud.)

Okay, now I need to figure out what the arrows mean

#14367

yes, thatā€™s a good plan.
