- Es gelten die normalen Irregulär-8x8-Sudoku-Regeln, d.h. jede Reihe, Spalte und Region muss die Zahlen von 1 bis 8 enthalten.
- Thermometer: Ziffern auf einem Thermometer sind vom Kugelende aus strikt aufsteigend.
- Palindrom: Die Ziffern auf der grauen Linie bilden ein Palindrom, d.h. sie ergeben vor- und rückwärts gelesen die gleiche Zahlenfolge.
- Punkte: Durch einen schwarzen Punkt verbundene Ziffern stehen in einem 1:2-Verhältnis. (Nicht alle Punkte sind angegeben.)
Hier kann das Rätsel online gelöst werden:
Lösungscode: Reihe 1 gefolgt von Reihe 8, von links nach rechts (16 Ziffern insgesamt)

Thank you for this great puzzle, dear sujoyku! To be honest, I don't see the one star, I found this puzzle a very hard nut to crack before I broke in.

Thank your for your comment, Lenivaya_Joppa! I am glad that you enjoyed the puzzle. Concerning difficulty: I think this is a case where it really depends whether you quickly spot what to look for. There is a certain relation between the palindromes that is helping a lot with the break-in. But I do agree that there are still some non-obvious deductions to make after that.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Took a while to find the break-in point... then to realize that with some symmetry I could also look at other side!

Thank you for the comment, faltenin! The break-in is not immediately obvious, but quite rewarding once you have it. I hope you had a joyful solve.
Kind regards, sujoyku

The constraints all interact in interesting ways. Thanks for the JOYful puzzle.

Thank you for your comment, anyeyeball! At the heart of the puzzle (from my perspective as a setter) were the thermometers, the palindrome and the shape of the regions.
It is nice to hear that you liked their interactions and that you had a joyful solve.
Kind regards, sujoyku

What is the smartest tool? A thermometer because it has so many degrees. I thought I'd finally gotten my dream career making thermometers. Turns out it was just a temp job. What is a duck's favorite snack? Cheese and quackers.
Thanks for the fun puzzle.
