** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Lots of you enjoyed yesterday's Fog Of War sudoku by Oddlyeven so we thought we'd try another one today - but this one is a little harder. It's called Viper In The Fog and it's by Jolly Rogers. It features a very original ruleset and some absolutely lovely logic! Enjoy.
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. The grid is partially covered in fog. Correctly placed digits will clear the fog around that cell. No guessing is required. Digits in a circle must appear within the four surrounding cells. Draw a single one-cell-wide snake of orthogonally connected cells which begins and ends in Box 4. The snake can touch itself orthogonally and diagonally but must not branch or overlap. Box 'N' must contain 'N' amount of snake cells, and within this Box ‘N’ the digit 'N' must appear on the snake. (Boxes are numbered in normal reading order.) Eg Box 5 must contain exactly 5 snake cells, and one of these snake cells must be the digit 5. Box borders divide the snake into segments which sum to either 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20. Cells which are not part of the snake must be able to orthogonally connect to the grid boundary.
