Thermo sums #9
(Published on 21. November 2020, 21:42 by PetLov)
Digits can´t repeat within a cage.
Digits must increase from the bulb end of the thermometers and cannot repeat.
Each thermometer must read the sum of the digits in their respective cage or the combined total of the cages they are connecting.
All sums are read from the bulb end of the thermometer.
This example shows how the thermometers sum up the different areas.
Solution code: Row 6 and column 5

Very hard puzzle indeed!! One more thermo sum to go and I'll meet my goal!!Thanks PetLov for challenging but fun puzzles
*** How wonderful Donna Mitt.
If your goal is to complete all thermo sum puzzles I'm afraid you still have a few left to solve. There are ten puzzles but not all of them have "thermo sums" in the title ;-)

Very, very hard puzzle!
While it was pretty easy to find the candidates for all the thermometers and fill in one in C1, I really struggled to find the right combination of digits for C6.
*** I´m glad that you solved it and hope that you found it entertaining.
I really like this puzzle idea but I think I´m going to take a break from it for a while. My latest puzzle in the series have no solves so far and I believe that one is not as difficult as this one so my conclusion is that difficulty is not why it´s not been solved yet but rather that the concept feels strange to most people.
