Seven Thermos
(Published on 22. April 2022, 09:00 by Agent)
An idea I had for a thermo variant. It should be a GAS - maybe a few steps that require diligent pencil-marking, but the deductions are straightforward.
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits on a thermometer must increase from the bulb end.
- All thermometers must include a 7.
Solution code: Row 7 (from left to right) then column 7 (from top to bottom)

Very clever solving path would not have expected this constraint to "just work" but it does
