Awesome puzzle...
just tried because I thought I saw something obvious (otherwise I wouldn't even dared) and when the other end of the spectrum emerged from out of nowhere I was hooked!
That was huge fun and I only had to restart once :D

5-star difficulty for me. After the first 15 digits, it got significantly easier, but it was quite a challenge getting to 9, then to 14, then 15. Great puzzle.
