With today's Move Data we dive into the wonderful, endless world of Naoki Inaba genres once more. I don't think I've ever actually seen any puzzles of this type outside of Inaba's own website, but then again this isn't the most searchable genre name. My search did remind me of a mildly cursed spin on Curve Data that goes by the same name, which I had forgotten about. I think I'll spare you from it for now, though I have added it to my ever-growing list of genre ideas for GAPP to revisit in the future 😈.

Rules: Draw paths through the centers of cells such that each path starts from a shaded cell and all cells are used by a path. Paths may not cross each other or themselves. Clues represent the lengths of the line segments appearing along the path, not necessarily in order. Each number is used exactly once in its path.

Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving in 2:30 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving in 5:00 or less!
All solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with a Disorderly Dickcissel 🐦!
