Zigzag Thermo Sudoku
(Published on 9. July 2020, 00:01 by JonnyKaufman)
90s Cup Design
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Thermometers work as normal - increasing starting from the bulb. All digits cannot be within a knight's move in chess of the same. Digits in purple cells form a Magic Square.
Hope this puzzle brings about some nostalgic fun!

If you know what Magic Square is, it becomes much more easy ;) Thanks again!

Thanks a lot! Thought Magic Square was something else. I try again :)

@Saskia Only 7 digits fit the solution, perhaps you didn't pay attention to the magic square?

Nice puzzle. Like it :-)
@JonnyKaufman: I know, it's a little bit "exaggerated", but we had problems in the past: Can you please replace the cup with a link? I don't know if it is a forbidden picture...

I forgot all about the anti-knight constraint, nice puzzle!

Pretty straight forward. I really enjoyed it!

The puzzle solved uniquely for me, no ambiguous pairs or triples. Nice puzzle!

I hope I am wrong, but there seem to be multiple solutions (some unresolved pairs and triples)
@SudokuExplorer, It should solve uniquely. Where about did you encounter the pairs/triples?
