Mean Snake Hollow
(Eingestellt am 25. September 2023, 17:05 Uhr von heliopolix )
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Draw some snakes in the grid. A snake is a one-cell-wide path of orthogonally-connected cells that does branch or not touch itself orthogonally (it may touch diagonally). Each snake must start in a circle and may only contain one circle. The shaded cells may not be part of any snake. A snake is allowed to be a single cell.
The digit in the circle gives both the length of the snake and the average of the cells in the snake (also known as the arithmetic mean). Digits may repeat on a snake if allowed by other rules. For example, 58534 would be a valid snake, as the sum of the digits is 25 and the snake is five digits long.
Comments are always welcome. I'd love to hear your thoughts about the puzzle. Have fun!
Lösungscode: In order from rows 1-9, the last digit in each snake, read left-to-right (13 digits, no spaces).

Nice tricky puzzle! i also must admit i took far too long to figure out the solution code, but all good :D. I would give it a 3/5 difficulty rating!

Difficulty of the puzzle itself should be 2 stars, but figuring out the solution code is definitely a challenge.
