Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Additionally, a snake has to be drawn into the grid. The head and tail of the snake are in the two cells with grey circles. The snake may not touch itself orthogonally, but can touch itself diagonally. The rest of the cells without the snake form exactly eight areas, one of each size from 1 to 8. Such an area of size n contains each digit from 1 to n exactly once.
