==== RULES ====
Normal sudoku rules apply : Fill the grid with digits 1 to 9 appearing each exactly once in every row, column and 3x3 box.
Even marks : Grey squares contain even values.
Flat-Sharp marks : for all the below rules, a digit n is seen as :
- (n + 0.5) if it is in a cell marked with #
- (n - 0.5) if it is in a cell marked with b
- n in all other (unmarked) cells.
Non-strict between lines : cells on grey lines must have a value between or equal to the values of the grey circles at the ends of the line.
Thermometers : cell values strictly increase on grey thermometers, from the bulb to the tip.
German Whispers : on the blue-green line (row 5), a cell value must have a difference of at least 5 with its neighbors from the line.
==== EXAMPLES====
- A 3 in a cell on a thermometer and marked with # is counted as 3.5 (3 + 0.5) for the thermometer. The next cell on thermo must be seen as more than 3.5.
- A 7 in a cell on a whisper line and marked with b is counted as 6.5 (7 - 0.5) in the whisper line. Its neighbors on the line must be 2.5 or lower.
- If a between line has a 5 marked b and a 7 marked # in its circles, then all cells on the between line must be between 4.5 and 7.5, both values included. The line could contain a 4 marked #, or a 8 marked b.
Solution code: Digits from row 8 (left to right) and then from column 5 (up to bottom). No space, 18 digits in total.

Very entertaining as always! I solved it in 42 minutes flat, cause I made some sharp observations!

das mit den Markierungen ist schwer verständlich, wie wärs mit einem Beispiel
@SKORP17 : Hallo, danke für die Benachrichtigung. Ich habe 3 Beispiele hinzugefügt, ich hoffe, sie sind klar genug.
ja, danke sehr

The German Whisper line was the highlight for me. Very creative as always
