Step-by-step solution for: Number Charts
To solve this puzzle, we need to fill in the missing numbers in the snake's body. The title says "Numbers 1-50," which means the numbers should go in order from 1 up to 50, following the path of the snake.
Let's trace the path step-by-step:
First Section (Head to first turn):
* The sequence starts at 1.
* The next circle is empty. The number after 1 is 2.
* The next number is given as 3.
* The next two circles are empty. After 3 comes 4, then 5.
* The next circle is empty. After 5 comes 6.
* The next number is given as 7.
* The next two circles are empty. After 7 comes 8, then 9... wait, looking at the next section, the number 9 is actually at the end of the next loop. Let's look closer at the connection.
* Path: 1 -> [2] -> 3 -> [4] -> [5] -> [6] -> 7 -> [8] -> [9 is in the next visible spot? No, let's look at the second loop].
Let's re-trace carefully by looking at the given numbers and counting forward.
Loop 1:
* Starts with 1.
* Next is blank: 2.
* Next is 3.
* Next two blanks: 4, 5.
* Next blank: 6.
* Next is 7.
* Next two blanks leading into the next curve: 8, 9.
* *Check:* The next visible number printed on the worksheet is 13 inside a circle, but before that, there is a 9 and 10 on the right side. Let's follow the snake's body physically.
* From 7, the snake goes right, then down. The circles are: [blank], [blank]. Then it curves left. The next printed number is 9? No, looking at the image, after 7, there are two circles, then a circle with 9? No, the circle with 9 is further along.
* Let's count strictly from the previous known number.
* Sequence: 1, [2], 3, [4], [5], [6], 7, [8], [9].
* Wait, let's look at the cluster on the right. There is a 9 and a 10.
* So, after 7, the next circle is 8. The circle after that connects to the start of the next loop?
* Let's look at the numbers provided in the second "hump": 13, 10, 9. This seems backwards or I am misreading the direction.
* Snakes usually start at the head. The head is on the left. The tongue is pointing out. So we start at 1.
* Path: 1 -> [2] -> 3 -> [4] -> [5] -> [6] -> 7 -> [8] -> [9?]
* Let's look at the rightmost part of the first hump. It ends with a circle that leads down to a circle labeled 9? No, the label 9 is in a circle below the top line. And 10 is to its left. And 13 is further left.
* This implies the sequence might be winding back. Let's trace from 7 again.
* 7 -> [8] -> [9]. The circle labeled 9 is indeed the next one in the physical path if we go down the curve.
* Then from 9, the path goes left to 10.
* Then from 10, the path goes left through two blanks to 13.
* So between 10 and 13, we have 11 and 12.
* So far: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. This fits perfectly.
Loop 2 (Middle Left):
* We are at 13.
* The path goes down and left. There are two blank circles before 16.
* After 13 comes 14, then 15. Then 16. This fits.
* From 16, the path goes right. There are two blank circles before 19.
* After 16 comes 17, then 18. Then 19. This fits.
* From 19, the path goes right. There are two blank circles before 22.
* After 19 comes 20, then 21. Then 22. This fits.
* From 22, the path goes right and down. There are two blank circles at the end of this hump.
* After 22 comes 23, then 24.
Loop 3 (Lower Middle):
* The path continues from the previous section (ending at 24) into the next hump.
* Let's check the start of this hump. The first visible number is 30? No, let's trace from 24.
* After 24, the snake curves left. There are three blank circles before 30? Let's count the circles between 22 and 30.
* End of Loop 2: 22 -> [23] -> [24].
* Start of Loop 3: The snake curves left. The circles are [25], [26? No, 26 is later], [27?], [28?], [29?], 30.
* Let's look at the printed numbers in this section: 30, 28, 26. They are decreasing? No, the snake winds.
* Let's trace the physical circles from 24.
* Circle after 24 is blank. Next is blank. Next is blank. Next is 30? That would mean 25, 26, 29, 30? That skips numbers.
* Let's look really closely at the connections.
* From 22, we have [23], [24].
* Then the snake goes LEFT.
* The next circle is blank. Then blank. Then blank. Then 30.
* If the last one was 24, then: [25], [26], [27], [28]... wait, 28 is printed later in the loop.
* Let's look at the right side of this loop. We see 26 and 28.
* Usually these puzzles go 1, 2, 3... continuously.
* Let's assume the standard count continues from 24.
* Path from 24 goes left: [25], [26], [27], [28]... but 28 is printed in the middle of the loop.
* Let's re-examine the link between Loop 2 and Loop 3.
* Loop 2 ends with 22 -> [23] -> [24].
* Loop 3 starts on the right side? No, the snake head is left, so the tail is bottom right. The flow is Left -> Right -> Left -> Right -> Left -> Right.
* Let's re-read the direction.
* Head (Left) -> Right (1 to 7/8/9)
* Curve Down/Left (9 to 13)
* Curve Right (13 to 22/23/24)
* Curve Down/Left (24 to ...)
* Okay, so after 24, we are moving LEFT.
* The circles are: [25], [26], [27], [28]... wait, 28 is a printed number. Is it in the 4th spot?
* Let's count circles from 24 moving left towards 30.
* Circle 1: [25]
* Circle 2: [26] -- Wait, 26 is printed on the *other side* of the loop.
* Circle 3: [27]
* Circle 4: [28] -- 28 is printed in the middle.
* Circle 5: [29]
* Circle 6: 30.
* This fits perfectly! So the sequence from 24 is: [25], [26], [27], [28-printed], [29], [30-printed].
* Wait, let me double check the position of 26. In the image, 26 is on the lower right part of the "S" curve. 28 is to its left. 30 is to the left of 28.
* So the path is: ... -> 24 -> [25] -> [26] -> [27] -> 28 -> [29] -> 30.
* But wait, looking at the image, 26 is printed in a circle. 28 is printed in a circle. 30 is printed in a circle.
* Between 24 and 30, there are 3 blank circles?
* Let's count the physical circles between the end of the previous loop (24) and the number 30.
* End of Loop 2: 22, [23], [24].
* Start of Loop 3: The snake curves down and left.
* First circle after 24: Blank.
* Second circle: Blank.
* Third circle: Blank.
* Fourth circle: 30?
* If so, 24 -> 25, 26, 27, 30? That skips 28 and 29. But 28 is printed elsewhere.
* Let's look at the right side of Loop 3 again.
* After 30, the snake goes RIGHT.
* Circles: [31], 28? No, that would be backwards.
* Ah, I see the layout now.
* Loop 3 is an "S" shape or a curve.
* Left side has 34 and 30.
* Right side has 26 and 28? No, 26 and 28 are in the loop *above*? No, they are in the same visual band as 30.
* Let's trace from 22 again very carefully.
* 22 -> [23] -> [24]. These are the last two circles of the "Right-moving" hump.
* Then the snake curves DOWN and LEFT.
* The next circles form the start of the "Left-moving" hump.
* There are 3 blank circles, then 30?
* Let's look at the numbers 26 and 28. Where are they?
* They are in the hump *below* 19/22? Yes.
* Are they on the right side of that hump? Yes.
* So, does the snake go 22 -> 23 -> 24 -> ... -> 26 -> 28 -> 30?
* If the snake goes Right-to-Left in this hump, the numbers should decrease visually from right to left? No, the numbers always increase along the path.
* So if the path is moving Right-to-Left, the numbers on the right are smaller than the numbers on the left.
* Right side of Hump 3: 26, 28.
* Left side of Hump 3: 30, 34.
* This implies the path enters from the right?
* Let's re-evaluate the whole snake direction.
* Head is Left.
* Hump 1 (Top): Moves Left to Right. (1 -> 7). Then curves down/left.
* Hump 2 (Upper Mid): Moves Right to Left. (9 -> 13). Then curves down/right.
* Hump 3 (Lower Mid): Moves Left to Right. (16 -> 22). Then curves down/left.
* Hump 4 (Bottom Mid): Moves Right to Left. (?? -> 30). Then curves down/right.
* Hump 5 (Bottom): Moves Left to Right. (34 -> ??).
Let's test this "Alternating Direction" hypothesis.
Hump 1 (L->R): 1, [2], 3, [4], [5], [6], 7, [8], [9].
* Ends at 9? The circle with 9 is on the far right.
* Then it curves DOWN and LEFT.
Hump 2 (R->L):
* Starts after 9. The next number is 10. It is to the left of 9. Correct.
* Then [11], [12].
* Then 13. Correct.
* Then curves DOWN and RIGHT.
Hump 3 (L->R):
* Starts after 13. Next is [14], [15].
* Then 16. Correct.
* Then [17], [18].
* Then 19. Correct.
* Then [20], [21].
* Then 22. Correct.
* Then curves DOWN and LEFT.
Hump 4 (R->L):
* Starts after 22.
* Next circles are [23], [24].
* Then it enters the R->L hump.
* The right-most numbers printed here are 26 and 28?
* Wait, if it's R->L, the numbers should get bigger as we go left.
* So the right-most number should be the smallest in this hump.
* We have 26 and 28 on the right.
* We have 30 on the left.
* This fits! 26 < 28 < 30.
* So, coming from 24 (end of previous hump), we need to connect to 26.
* Path: 24 -> [25] -> 26.
* Let's check the circles between 22 and 26.
* 22 -> [23] -> [24] -> [25] -> 26.
* Looking at the image: After 22, there are two blanks ([23],[24]), then a blank ([25]), then 26.
* Yes, there is a blank circle between 24 and 26.
* So: 24 -> [25] -> 26.
* From 26, the path goes left.
* Next circle is blank: [27].
* Next circle is 28.
* From 28, path goes left.
* Next circle is blank: [29].
* Next circle is 30.
* From 30, path goes left/down to start next hump.
* Next circle is blank: [31].
* Next circle is blank: [32].
* Next circle is blank: [33].
* Next circle is 34.
* Let's verify the circles between 30 and 34.
* Image shows: 30 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 34.
* Count: 30, 31, 32, 33, 34. Perfect.
Hump 5 (L->R):
* Starts at 34.
* Path goes Right.
* Circles: [35], [36], [37].
* Next circle is 38.
* Let's verify: 34 -> [35] -> [36] -> [37] -> 38.
* Image shows: 34 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 38. Perfect.
* From 38, path goes Right.
* Circles: [39], [40].
* Next circle is 41.
* Let's verify: 38 -> [39] -> [40] -> 41.
* Image shows: 38 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 41. Perfect.
* From 41, path goes Right/Down to final tail.
* Circles: [42], [43].
* Next circle is 44? Or is 44 further?
* Image shows: 41 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 44?
* Let's look at the tail section.
* After 41, there is a blank, then another blank, then a blank?
* Actually, let's look at the printed numbers in the tail: 47 and 44.
* The tail moves Left to Right?
* Head is Left. Tail is Right.
* The last hump (Hump 5) went L->R (34 to 41).
* The tail section seems to continue L->R.
* Printed numbers: 44, 47.
* If it's L->R, 44 comes before 47.
* Let's trace from 41.
* 41 -> [42] -> [43] -> 44.
* Image check: 41 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 44.
* Yes, there are two blanks between 41 and 44. So 42, 43.
* From 44, path goes Right.
* Circles: [45], [46].
* Next circle is 47.
* Image check: 44 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 47.
* Yes, two blanks. So 45, 46.
* From 47, path goes Right to the end.
* Circles: [48], [49], [50].
* Image check: 47 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> [blank] -> End.
* Yes, three blanks at the very end. So 48, 49, 50.
Summary of Missing Numbers to Fill In:
1. After 1: 2
2. After 3: 4, 5
3. After 5: 6
4. After 7: 8
5. After 8 (start of next loop right side): 9 is printed. Wait, I identified 9 as printed. Let's re-verify which are printed vs blank.
* Printed: 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 26, 28, 30, 34, 38, 41, 44, 47.

Let's double check the counts against the visual blanks.
* 1 _ 3 _ _ _ 7 _ _ 9
* Blanks: 1 (val 2), 3 (val 4,5,6), 1 (val 8).
* Visual: 1 circle after 1. 3 circles after 3. 1 circle after 7.
* Matches.
* 9 10 _ _ 13
* Wait, 9 and 10 are adjacent printed numbers?
* Image: Circle 9, Circle 10. They are next to each other.
* So no blank between 9 and 10.
* Between 10 and 13: Two blanks. Values 11, 12.
* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 13 _ _ 16
* Two blanks. Values 14, 15.

* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 47 _ _ _ (End)
* Three blanks. Values 48, 49, 50.
* Visual: 3 circles. Matches.
The solution is consistent. I will list the numbers in order of appearance in the blanks.
Final Answer:
The missing numbers to fill in the circles, in order from the head of the snake to the tail, are:
2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 42, 43, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50
Let's trace the path step-by-step:
First Section (Head to first turn):
* The sequence starts at 1.
* The next circle is empty. The number after 1 is 2.
* The next number is given as 3.
* The next two circles are empty. After 3 comes 4, then 5.
* The next circle is empty. After 5 comes 6.
* The next number is given as 7.
* The next two circles are empty. After 7 comes 8, then 9... wait, looking at the next section, the number 9 is actually at the end of the next loop. Let's look closer at the connection.
* Path: 1 -> [2] -> 3 -> [4] -> [5] -> [6] -> 7 -> [8] -> [9 is in the next visible spot? No, let's look at the second loop].
Let's re-trace carefully by looking at the given numbers and counting forward.
Loop 1:
* Starts with 1.
* Next is blank: 2.
* Next is 3.
* Next two blanks: 4, 5.
* Next blank: 6.
* Next is 7.
* Next two blanks leading into the next curve: 8, 9.
* *Check:* The next visible number printed on the worksheet is 13 inside a circle, but before that, there is a 9 and 10 on the right side. Let's follow the snake's body physically.
* From 7, the snake goes right, then down. The circles are: [blank], [blank]. Then it curves left. The next printed number is 9? No, looking at the image, after 7, there are two circles, then a circle with 9? No, the circle with 9 is further along.
* Let's count strictly from the previous known number.
* Sequence: 1, [2], 3, [4], [5], [6], 7, [8], [9].
* Wait, let's look at the cluster on the right. There is a 9 and a 10.
* So, after 7, the next circle is 8. The circle after that connects to the start of the next loop?
* Let's look at the numbers provided in the second "hump": 13, 10, 9. This seems backwards or I am misreading the direction.
* Snakes usually start at the head. The head is on the left. The tongue is pointing out. So we start at 1.
* Path: 1 -> [2] -> 3 -> [4] -> [5] -> [6] -> 7 -> [8] -> [9?]
* Let's look at the rightmost part of the first hump. It ends with a circle that leads down to a circle labeled 9? No, the label 9 is in a circle below the top line. And 10 is to its left. And 13 is further left.
* This implies the sequence might be winding back. Let's trace from 7 again.
* 7 -> [8] -> [9]. The circle labeled 9 is indeed the next one in the physical path if we go down the curve.
* Then from 9, the path goes left to 10.
* Then from 10, the path goes left through two blanks to 13.
* So between 10 and 13, we have 11 and 12.
* So far: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. This fits perfectly.
Loop 2 (Middle Left):
* We are at 13.
* The path goes down and left. There are two blank circles before 16.
* After 13 comes 14, then 15. Then 16. This fits.
* From 16, the path goes right. There are two blank circles before 19.
* After 16 comes 17, then 18. Then 19. This fits.
* From 19, the path goes right. There are two blank circles before 22.
* After 19 comes 20, then 21. Then 22. This fits.
* From 22, the path goes right and down. There are two blank circles at the end of this hump.
* After 22 comes 23, then 24.
Loop 3 (Lower Middle):
* The path continues from the previous section (ending at 24) into the next hump.
* Let's check the start of this hump. The first visible number is 30? No, let's trace from 24.
* After 24, the snake curves left. There are three blank circles before 30? Let's count the circles between 22 and 30.
* End of Loop 2: 22 -> [23] -> [24].
* Start of Loop 3: The snake curves left. The circles are [25], [26? No, 26 is later], [27?], [28?], [29?], 30.
* Let's look at the printed numbers in this section: 30, 28, 26. They are decreasing? No, the snake winds.
* Let's trace the physical circles from 24.
* Circle after 24 is blank. Next is blank. Next is blank. Next is 30? That would mean 25, 26, 29, 30? That skips numbers.
* Let's look really closely at the connections.
* From 22, we have [23], [24].
* Then the snake goes LEFT.
* The next circle is blank. Then blank. Then blank. Then 30.
* If the last one was 24, then: [25], [26], [27], [28]... wait, 28 is printed later in the loop.
* Let's look at the right side of this loop. We see 26 and 28.
* Usually these puzzles go 1, 2, 3... continuously.
* Let's assume the standard count continues from 24.
* Path from 24 goes left: [25], [26], [27], [28]... but 28 is printed in the middle of the loop.
* Let's re-examine the link between Loop 2 and Loop 3.
* Loop 2 ends with 22 -> [23] -> [24].
* Loop 3 starts on the right side? No, the snake head is left, so the tail is bottom right. The flow is Left -> Right -> Left -> Right -> Left -> Right.
* Let's re-read the direction.
* Head (Left) -> Right (1 to 7/8/9)
* Curve Down/Left (9 to 13)
* Curve Right (13 to 22/23/24)
* Curve Down/Left (24 to ...)
* Okay, so after 24, we are moving LEFT.
* The circles are: [25], [26], [27], [28]... wait, 28 is a printed number. Is it in the 4th spot?
* Let's count circles from 24 moving left towards 30.
* Circle 1: [25]
* Circle 2: [26] -- Wait, 26 is printed on the *other side* of the loop.
* Circle 3: [27]
* Circle 4: [28] -- 28 is printed in the middle.
* Circle 5: [29]
* Circle 6: 30.
* This fits perfectly! So the sequence from 24 is: [25], [26], [27], [28-printed], [29], [30-printed].
* Wait, let me double check the position of 26. In the image, 26 is on the lower right part of the "S" curve. 28 is to its left. 30 is to the left of 28.
* So the path is: ... -> 24 -> [25] -> [26] -> [27] -> 28 -> [29] -> 30.
* But wait, looking at the image, 26 is printed in a circle. 28 is printed in a circle. 30 is printed in a circle.
* Between 24 and 30, there are 3 blank circles?
* Let's count the physical circles between the end of the previous loop (24) and the number 30.
* End of Loop 2: 22, [23], [24].
* Start of Loop 3: The snake curves down and left.
* First circle after 24: Blank.
* Second circle: Blank.
* Third circle: Blank.
* Fourth circle: 30?
* If so, 24 -> 25, 26, 27, 30? That skips 28 and 29. But 28 is printed elsewhere.
* Let's look at the right side of Loop 3 again.
* After 30, the snake goes RIGHT.
* Circles: [31], 28? No, that would be backwards.
* Ah, I see the layout now.
* Loop 3 is an "S" shape or a curve.
* Left side has 34 and 30.
* Right side has 26 and 28? No, 26 and 28 are in the loop *above*? No, they are in the same visual band as 30.
* Let's trace from 22 again very carefully.
* 22 -> [23] -> [24]. These are the last two circles of the "Right-moving" hump.
* Then the snake curves DOWN and LEFT.
* The next circles form the start of the "Left-moving" hump.
* There are 3 blank circles, then 30?
* Let's look at the numbers 26 and 28. Where are they?
* They are in the hump *below* 19/22? Yes.
* Are they on the right side of that hump? Yes.
* So, does the snake go 22 -> 23 -> 24 -> ... -> 26 -> 28 -> 30?
* If the snake goes Right-to-Left in this hump, the numbers should decrease visually from right to left? No, the numbers always increase along the path.
* So if the path is moving Right-to-Left, the numbers on the right are smaller than the numbers on the left.
* Right side of Hump 3: 26, 28.
* Left side of Hump 3: 30, 34.
* This implies the path enters from the right?
* Let's re-evaluate the whole snake direction.
* Head is Left.
* Hump 1 (Top): Moves Left to Right. (1 -> 7). Then curves down/left.
* Hump 2 (Upper Mid): Moves Right to Left. (9 -> 13). Then curves down/right.
* Hump 3 (Lower Mid): Moves Left to Right. (16 -> 22). Then curves down/left.
* Hump 4 (Bottom Mid): Moves Right to Left. (?? -> 30). Then curves down/right.
* Hump 5 (Bottom): Moves Left to Right. (34 -> ??).
Let's test this "Alternating Direction" hypothesis.
Hump 1 (L->R): 1, [2], 3, [4], [5], [6], 7, [8], [9].
* Ends at 9? The circle with 9 is on the far right.
* Then it curves DOWN and LEFT.
Hump 2 (R->L):
* Starts after 9. The next number is 10. It is to the left of 9. Correct.
* Then [11], [12].
* Then 13. Correct.
* Then curves DOWN and RIGHT.
Hump 3 (L->R):
* Starts after 13. Next is [14], [15].
* Then 16. Correct.
* Then [17], [18].
* Then 19. Correct.
* Then [20], [21].
* Then 22. Correct.
* Then curves DOWN and LEFT.
Hump 4 (R->L):
* Starts after 22.
* Next circles are [23], [24].
* Then it enters the R->L hump.
* The right-most numbers printed here are 26 and 28?
* Wait, if it's R->L, the numbers should get bigger as we go left.
* So the right-most number should be the smallest in this hump.
* We have 26 and 28 on the right.
* We have 30 on the left.
* This fits! 26 < 28 < 30.
* So, coming from 24 (end of previous hump), we need to connect to 26.
* Path: 24 -> [25] -> 26.
* Let's check the circles between 22 and 26.
* 22 -> [23] -> [24] -> [25] -> 26.
* Looking at the image: After 22, there are two blanks ([23],[24]), then a blank ([25]), then 26.
* Yes, there is a blank circle between 24 and 26.
* So: 24 -> [25] -> 26.
* From 26, the path goes left.
* Next circle is blank: [27].
* Next circle is 28.
* From 28, path goes left.
* Next circle is blank: [29].
* Next circle is 30.
* From 30, path goes left/down to start next hump.
* Next circle is blank: [31].
* Next circle is blank: [32].
* Next circle is blank: [33].
* Next circle is 34.
* Let's verify the circles between 30 and 34.
* Image shows: 30 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 34.
* Count: 30, 31, 32, 33, 34. Perfect.
Hump 5 (L->R):
* Starts at 34.
* Path goes Right.
* Circles: [35], [36], [37].
* Next circle is 38.
* Let's verify: 34 -> [35] -> [36] -> [37] -> 38.
* Image shows: 34 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 38. Perfect.
* From 38, path goes Right.
* Circles: [39], [40].
* Next circle is 41.
* Let's verify: 38 -> [39] -> [40] -> 41.
* Image shows: 38 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 41. Perfect.
* From 41, path goes Right/Down to final tail.
* Circles: [42], [43].
* Next circle is 44? Or is 44 further?
* Image shows: 41 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 44?
* Let's look at the tail section.
* After 41, there is a blank, then another blank, then a blank?
* Actually, let's look at the printed numbers in the tail: 47 and 44.
* The tail moves Left to Right?
* Head is Left. Tail is Right.
* The last hump (Hump 5) went L->R (34 to 41).
* The tail section seems to continue L->R.
* Printed numbers: 44, 47.
* If it's L->R, 44 comes before 47.
* Let's trace from 41.
* 41 -> [42] -> [43] -> 44.
* Image check: 41 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 44.
* Yes, there are two blanks between 41 and 44. So 42, 43.
* From 44, path goes Right.
* Circles: [45], [46].
* Next circle is 47.
* Image check: 44 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> 47.
* Yes, two blanks. So 45, 46.
* From 47, path goes Right to the end.
* Circles: [48], [49], [50].
* Image check: 47 -> [blank] -> [blank] -> [blank] -> End.
* Yes, three blanks at the very end. So 48, 49, 50.
Summary of Missing Numbers to Fill In:
1. After 1: 2
2. After 3: 4, 5
3. After 5: 6
4. After 7: 8
5. After 8 (start of next loop right side): 9 is printed. Wait, I identified 9 as printed. Let's re-verify which are printed vs blank.
* Printed: 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 26, 28, 30, 34, 38, 41, 44, 47.
* Blanks to fill:
* Between 1 & 3: 2
* Between 3 & 7: 4, 5, 6
* Between 7 & 9: 8
* Between 10 & 13: 11, 12
* Between 13 & 16: 14, 15
* Between 16 & 19: 17, 18
* Between 19 & 22: 20, 21

Let's double check the counts against the visual blanks.
* 1 _ 3 _ _ _ 7 _ _ 9
* Blanks: 1 (val 2), 3 (val 4,5,6), 1 (val 8).
* Visual: 1 circle after 1. 3 circles after 3. 1 circle after 7.
* Matches.
* 9 10 _ _ 13
* Wait, 9 and 10 are adjacent printed numbers?
* Image: Circle 9, Circle 10. They are next to each other.
* So no blank between 9 and 10.
* Between 10 and 13: Two blanks. Values 11, 12.
* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 13 _ _ 16
* Two blanks. Values 14, 15.
* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 16 _ _ 19
* Two blanks. Values 17, 18.
* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 19 _ _ 22
* Two blanks. Values 20, 21.
* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 22 _ _ _ 26
* Three blanks. Values 23, 24, 25.
* Visual: 3 circles. Matches.
* 26 _ 28
* One blank. Value 27.
* Visual: 1 circle. Matches.
* 28 _ 30
* One blank. Value 29.
* Visual: 1 circle. Matches.
* 30 _ _ _ 34
* Three blanks. Values 31, 32, 33.
* Visual: 3 circles. Matches.
* 34 _ _ _ 38
* Three blanks. Values 35, 36, 37.
* Visual: 3 circles. Matches.
* 38 _ _ 41
* Two blanks. Values 39, 40.
* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 41 _ _ 44
* Two blanks. Values 42, 43.
* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 44 _ _ 47
* Two blanks. Values 45, 46.
* Visual: 2 circles. Matches.
* 47 _ _ _ (End)
* Three blanks. Values 48, 49, 50.
* Visual: 3 circles. Matches.
The solution is consistent. I will list the numbers in order of appearance in the blanks.
Final Answer:
The missing numbers to fill in the circles, in order from the head of the snake to the tail, are:
2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 42, 43, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50
