This puzzle was made for zetamath's "sortadoku" setting challenge.
Rules:
Place the digits 0–9 so that no digit repeats within a row, column, or 3x3 box. (The leftmost column, uppermost row, and every 3x3 box will have exactly one digit omitted; the remaining rows and columns will contain all ten digits once each.)
Within the main 9x9 grid, cells are either wall (shaded) or cave (unshaded) cells. Walls are orthogonally connected to the edge of the main grid, and the cave is one orthogonally connected area. Circles are cave cells; the digit in a circle equals the amount of cave cells seen in that row and column, including itself. Walls obstruct vision.
Digits outside the main grid give the amount of wall cells in that row/column.
Adjacent digits on a green line differ by 5 or more.
Solve:
Lösungscode: Row 10 (left to right, 10 digits)

This puzzle was so creative! Lots of surprisingly smooth deductions considering there are some fascinating global implications. Thanks for helping me get over my fear of german whispers a bit :)

Brilliant puzzle! Very hard even after I understood something important about scanning of the boxes. Thank you

As expected. This was a pleasure and a joy. Tricky in the middle, but worth every of the many minutes.

A very interesting puzzle overall that requires a few more extra thoughts to understand how the scanning would work in here, thanks for the fun and lovely puzzle! :)
