That was a nice puzzle. I also did the fog variation of the pi snake. Great too.
But checking the video in ctc I see a different board with a cage instead of the small clue

Tulrak: Oh yeah, should've mentioned it that CTC solved an earlier version. No real difference beyond the clue types, the new version is only better for aesthetic reasons.

Wow. So beautiful and fun! I may be biased, but it's one of the best puzzles I've ever solved!

Funny story, I know pi to ten digits, but the last digit I have memorized is rounded. So when I got to that digit I thought I had messed up! This was a cool puzzle, not too difficult but still it has some interesting logic. Cheers!

I thought, easy game, ... :-D
Got in very quickly and then got stuck and thought I did a mistake. But I just didn't think far enough ;-)
Wonderful puzzle, loved it!

Beautiful puzzle! Very different than ones I usually tackle, and I loved it. Thanks for setting and sharing.

I was so afraid that there's not nearly enough information in the grid to complete it easily, but then I somehow got it down in just under 13 minutes. I'd rate this 1.5 stars for difficulty if I could. There's definitely a trick or two that don't feel too beginner-level, but other than that, the solve is very smooth and enjoyable.
