Rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply.

The digits in a cage must some to the total in the top left of the cage. Cages cannot repeat digits within themselves.

Cells separated by a dot must be adjacent numbers (i.e. 3 and 4). Not all dots are given.

Cells separated by an inequality sign must obey that inequality (the larger number on the open side, the smaller number on the pointed side).

Hint! Consider which cells must be the same, and which must be different. When I was creating and double-checking this puzzle, I used letters to represent which cells must be the same.

Here's an alternative f-puzzle version, using a 2-cell thermometer instead of inequality signs:

Fixed the typo in the solution code. Sorry about that!

So sorry about that, everyone! The f-puzzles version was (quite obviously) a last-minute addition. I updated it to fix the issue with the 8-cell cage. Thank you for the feedback!

Solution code doesn't seem to be working for me either, unless I typed something wrong

The rightmost cage only has 8 cells in your f-puzzles version.

Also, can you double-check that your solution code is entered correctly? The code I get (which doesn't get any errors in a corrected version of f-puzzles) isn't accepted.
