Snake Pit of a Different Kind
Standard Sudoku rules are in effect, i.e., each row, column, and 3x3 box must contain one each of the digits 1-9.
Each cage contains the digits 1-9 without repeats.
Digits along thermometers must strictly increase starting at the bulb end. (Note: the thermometers cross at certain places, but do not branch.)
Finally, one of the two (marked) long diagonals is also subject to the no-repeats rule. The solver must determine which.
Solution code: The 9th row (9 digits total)
