Ridiculous Region-Sum Snake
(Published on 20. February 2024, 00:00 by starwarigami)
Please check out the other puzzles in this series:
A Ridiculous Region-Sum snake has come to the sudoku variant museum to see what the other snakes are raving about. It enters the museum through one of the 4 exits (Corners) and wants to visit every exhibit (Box) exactly once, finishing at the centre of the museum (R5C5)
The snake consists of a single path of orthogonally connected cells that never touches itself orthogonally (diagonally is fine).
The digits along the snake in each region sum to the same total, which is equal to the arrow total in box 5.
Solve the sudoku such that there exists a unique path for the snake through the museum.
All standard variant rules apply.

Somewhere along the visit I remembered I had a snake to show around. We had a fun time together and enjoyed the variety of the exhibits. Thanks for organizing this museum!

Another riveting tour through the museum, at this point the snake is becoming quite learned.
