Do Rodents Dream Of Sudoku Sleep?
** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
It's Friday so, of late, we've been able to enjoy the latest Rat Run puzzle from Marty Sears. We're now up to episode 15, Connectedness, and it's another absolute doozy. It's also one of the most colourful sudokus we've seen. This we approve of :)
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Finkz the rat must reach the cupcake by finding a path through the maze. The path must not visit any cell more than once, cross itself, or pass through any thick maze walls. As well as moving orthogonally, Finkz may move diagonally if there's a 2x2 space in which to do so, but may never pass diagonally through the rounded end / corner of a wall. If digits are connected by a blackcurrant one digit will be double the other. Not all possible blackcurrants have been given. Entering a teleport will cause Finkz to be instantly transported to the matching coloured teleport. From there she can continue her journey. Matching teleports always have identical digits, but teleports that don't match always have different digits. Finkz' path is formed of one or more segments. Any uses of teleports will divide Finkz' path up into physically separate segments, ie; if a teleport is used, the current path segment ends at the entry teleport, and a new separate path segment begins at the matching exit teleport. Any path segment must function as a “renban” ie it must consist entirely of a set of non-repeating, consecutive digits, which can be arranged in any order along the path segment.
