(Published on 5. September 2024, 11:31 by Jolly Rogers)
RULES:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Draw a one-cell-wide loop or orthogonally connected cells, which does not branch or touch itself, not even diagonally.
- Adjacent digits along the loop must differ by at least 5.
- Cells containing a circle cannot be on the loop and the digit in a circle indicates how many of the up to 8 surrounding cells are on the loop.
- A digit in a circle also indicates how many times that digit must appear in circles.

Just to clarify, the solution code is given from left to right in both rows. Just in case we have any Hebrew/Chinese writers here :)....
