(Published on 18. August 2020, 19:39 by Philipp Huber)

This is a sudoku, that combines multiple variants.

Ruleset:

Standard sudoku rules apply.

Digits on the thermometer increase from the bulb end.

The palindrome contains a series of digits, that does not change when the order is reversed (e.g. 123454321).

Digits on arrows sum to the circled cell.

Cells separated by an X (V) clue sum to 10 (5).

No negative constraints apply.

The puzzle is also available online on f-puzzles.

Solution code: Column 3 and row 8.

Ein sehr schönes Rätsel. Mir hat der Lösungsweg sehr gut gefallen und ich fand auch die Startidee schön gekennzeichnet. Normalerweise mag ich es nicht so gern, wenn viele Varianten bunt durcheinander gewürfelt sind, aber hier hat sich alles hübsch und nahtlos zu einem großen Ganzen zusammengefügt. Vielen Dank für's Konstruieren, Philipp Huber! :)

Changed explanation of palindrome rules, to avoid confusion.

I usually don't like puzzles that have a gazillion rules, specially those where people just throw in rules for the sake of having more rules or when a final rule is added to fix something that otherwise would be perfect.

BUT this puzzles is totally NOT in that category.

This puzzles is just amazing! The clues fit so well with each other and I made use of everything! I think I like it even more than your Avada Kedavra. I found this one a bit easier but more satisfying!

What a puzzle!

Mind-blowing setup.

does the palindrome have only 2 of each number or is that left for us to find?
