Thermo Sandwich Sudoku
(Published on 12. August 2020, 23:48 by JonnyKaufman)
A nice little coffee break puzzle, and if you haven't noticed yet, the design of the grid is meant to look like a Space Shuttle flying through a Meteor Shower. I've also provided a link to a more challenging version without the "Meteors" should you care to try. Both have the same solution, so have fun whichever you choose!
RULES:
1. Normal Sudoku rules apply.
2. Digits outside the grid are the sums of the digits "sandwiched" between the 1 and 9 in the respective row/column.
3. The Space Shuttle is made of two Palindromes and one Thermometer.
4. Thermometers increase starting from the bulb end.
*FYI: Shades of grey are not easily distinguishable. Thermometer on shuttle begins in r8c6 and continues into r7c7.
Or, try a more challenging version of the puzzle without "Meteors" here: Space Shuttle in Space.
This is the fifth puzzle in my series of Thermo Design Puzzles. Please check out the others via links below:
1. Magical Kingdom Sudoku (Featured on CTC).
Solution code: Column 9, Row 9. No spaces or punctuation (e.g. 123456789123456789).

Lovely puzzle! Enjoyed it a lot. And sure, there were a couple of redundant clues, but I couldn't care less about that. Great work!
