(Published on 1. July 2022, 08:52 by cdwg2000)
This puzzle is a variant of a Arrow Sudoku and Thermos Sudoku . It was inspired by 胡蒙汀(Hu Mengting)'s puzzle Pointing Arrow Sudoku.
rule:
1. Standard Sudoku rules apply;
2. Standard Arrow Sudoku rules: The number in a circle indicates the sum of the digits along every arrow originating in the circle. Digits may repeat along an arrow;
3. Standard Thermos Sudoku rules:Digits must increase as they move along the thermometer away from the bulb.
4.The end of the arrow points to a hidden thermometer, starting from the next cell at the end of the arrow and continuing to the last cell in the direction of the arrow.

I've been thinking about this for some time and I just don't understand the 4th rule. Are the positions of the thermos ambiguous in any way? From my understanding, regarding the arrow originating in r1c3, there is a thermo starting in r5c5 which continues in a straight line until r5c9. If that's it, why isn't it just drawn in? This is probably wrong but I don't understand what else it's supposed to mean
Reply:You understand correctly. The thermometer will look messy when drawn.
