Double-Digit-Thermo III "The Ant nest"
(Published on 10. February 2021, 17:55 by Garford)
This is the third puzzle on a series of Double-Digit-Variations. If you are new to the ruleset, you may want to take a look at "The Bonsai" first.
"The Ant nest"
Ruleset:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
The lines are populated by double-digit-numbers. Each number starts with the tens digit followed by the units digit seen from the bulb. In other words, tens and units digits alternate along the lines. They are strictly increasing thoughout the thermometer lines. When the thermometer branches, all following branches need to start with a number higher than the number before the branch.
The starting number needs to be placed in the bulb, read top-down.
Note: Different to the rules of "The Tree", double-digit numbers can repeat within the thermometer.

Was für ein Gewusel. Zum Glück haben die Zahlen für eine Momentaufnahme gerade lange genug angehalten. ;-)
This is such a great series. This one was - like the others - loads of fun.
