Normal Sudoku Rules apply.
Japanese Sum sudoku rules apply. Numbers outside the grid give the sum of shaded cells. Between shaded cells must be at least 1 unshaded cell. All shaded sums are given (blank rows/columns are unshaded).
Additionally, there are hidden thermos in the grid! Every shaded cell represents either the bulb or the tip of some thermo. Unshaded cells do not represent bulbs or tips. Thermos are either completely horizontal or vertical, at least 3 cells long, and do not intersect each other. Along a thermometer, digits must increase from the bulb to the tip.
Solution code: Columns 1 and 3
