Shukri the Snake 3: I Spy, by pmays123

Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply.

Shukri is showing one of his new friends the art of apple collecting. Can you help Shukri be a good teacher by collecting all the apples?

Create a non-branching, non-intersecting path that begins and ends in r2c4 (Shukri's current cell) by travelling orthogonally through the centers of cells (up, down, left, right) such that:

• Each apple is collected.
• The digits in cells with apples are the order the apples are collected in.
• The path goes straight through even digits and turns 90 degrees (in either direction) through odd digits.

A clue N outside a row/column says the path travels through N cells in that row/column, and N is not on the path in that row/column.

Digits along a blue/purple snake's body sum to the digit on the snake's head.
