Sandwich Path Sudoku
(Published on 22. March 2020, 21:09 by Strosahl)
Standard sandwich sudoku rules apply:
1-9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits ‘sandwiched’ between the 1 and 9
In addition, ants are particular about their path: They always move the number of spaces indicated in the current cell, turn 90 degrees, and move the number of spaces in the new cell. Also, the path may not cross itself.
So, to be clear, the path must start by moving 2 cells (from r1c9 to r1c7), turning south and moving the number of cells indicated by r1c7.
Solution code: Digits along the path where ants turn (including the numbers in the green and red cells at the start and end)

@geronimo It's hard to judge the difficulty of a puzzle you create. And once 5 people have rated it, it will show the average of their ratings. That just hasn't happened yet.

Estimating the difficulty of own puzzles is often not easy. However, after around 10 votes the rating changes to the average of the votes, so this is not really a problem. You can see it when the stars change from blue to red. If people have really a problem with these first estimates, they should just wait a day. (And even then, I have seen two star puzzles I could not solve and four stars puzzles I thought were rather easy.)

Still a real problem with the ratings specially on YOUR puzzles..... This one is quite easy so why a 3 stars to start? Last time it was the other side, one star and this was much more difficult than one could think.....

Updated the German instructions per Dandelo's input. Thanks for the help!

The last 2 paragraphs should be changed a little bit. My suggestion is:
Darüber hinaus bewegen sich Ameisen auf folgende Art:
Sie gehen immer exakt die Zahl an Zellen geradeaus, die in der aktuellen Zelle steht, drehen sich um 90 Grad und wiederholen diesen Vorgang. Außerdem darf sich der Pfad nicht selbst kreuzen.
Das bedeutet, dass der Pfad zunächst 2 Zellen nach links führen muss (von r1c9 nach r1c7) und dann um die Anzahl der durch r1c7 angegebenen Zellen nach unten.

I used Google translate for German instructions. If anyone has corrections to make it more clear, let me know.
