Life on 36 cells
(Published on 13. January 2021, 00:42 by Phistomefel)
In general: The usual sudoku rules apply.
Top left: Vertically or horizontally adjacent cells cannot contain consecutive numbers. The number in a circle indicates the sum of the digits along the arrow arising from that circle.
Top right: Diagonally adjacent cells must contain different digits. The digits on a thermometer increase starting from the bulb end.
Bottom left: Diagonally adjacent cells must contain different digits. All digits in a diagonal pointed at by an arrow, sum up to the number behind the arrow. The digits on a diagonal may repeat.
Bottom right: Cells that are a knight's move apart (in chess) must contain different digits. An area surrounded by a dashed line is called a cage. A number in the upper left corner of a cage indicates the sum of the digits within the cage. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
The puzzles are also available online via F-Puzzles:
- Nonconsecutive Arrow Sudoku
- Antiking Thermo Sudoku
- Antiking Little Killer Sudoku
- Antiknight Killer Sudoku
Solution code: The last row of each puzzle, puzzles ordered in reading direction.

The last one was so elegant, just brilliant, my favourite. All of them was so much fun, the third one I had to do backtrack to solve, I can't to find a logical way to solve, but was very good too. That journey was incredible, thank you for the experience. Sorry for any error of writing, actually I don't speak english.

I agree that puzzle 3 was the hardest, but puzzle 4 was by far the most beautiful in my opinion. Thanks for the little treats! I love these small puzzles.
@cam: Thank you so much for solving the puzzles and for your nice feedback! :)

Wow, I really thought overall that puzzle 3 was the hardest, but I learned a lot and had fun, so well done!
Thank you, verticalsandwich! I am glad you liked the puzzles. :)

Thank you for your nice comment, bravo-lemur! The Antiknight Killer Sudoku is actually the one I started with, but the last one I finished, because I revisited it a few times due to some ideas I had. That is probably why it is harder than the rest. ;-)

Great series of puzzles! I found the last one significantly more difficult than the first three.
