Solution

Rules

  1. Place numbers in squares (parts of snakes) so that the figures from 1 (head) to 5 (tail) are sequentially connected one by one in the white squares.
  2. Snakes cannot touch (share a side with) other snakes, if they do territorial fights will erupt.
  3. Seen from the 2→1 direction of a snake (the snake’s direction of view), a part of another snake can not be in the squares to the next black square or to the rim of the grid. If so it will attack the other snake.
  4. The numbers in the black squares show the number in the nearest square in the direction of the arrow. 0 shows that there is no snake from this square to the next black square or outer rim.
