View Through The Window
(Published on 14. January 2021, 00:01 by SudokuExplorer)
Each square contains an even number.
Numbers on a thermo increase from the bulb end.
The red palindromes read the same from each end (eg 1661 or 7337).
Experience with windoku may prove useful. See this CTC video to recap the logic from minute 2:35.
You can try this puzzle on Penpa+ or F-Puzzles. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the view!
Place another palindrome in the grid. Read the 15th comment by Fred76 on this forum discussion for more details.
Solution code: Enter the 2nd column followed by the last row

That has to be one of the best puzzle I've ever solved. Also I know this is unrelated, but can I ask how hard was it to create this puzzle and how long did it take to set it?

It took me an age to spot it!
Thanks for the hint, it flowed nicely afterwards.
Great idea as usual! :-D

The logic to get the first few digits was really cool!
Fun solve!

@all: If anyone enjoys this, I recommend attempting TotallyNormalCat's Broken Ring (id=00054G). It deserves more solves.
