Odd Pentominoes on the Loose
(Published on 31. July 2022, 05:52 by JeffWajes)

Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Arrange all 12 pentominoes in the grid so that 9 of them contain only odd digits. Each pentomino appears exactly once. Digits CAN repeat inside a pentomino.
Cells connected by an X or V sum to 10 or 5 respectively AND belong to two separate pentominoes. Not every X and V is given.
Along a thermometer, digits increase from the bulb.
Solution code: Row 4

Duuuude, this was such a joy to solve! Can't believe I'm only the 6th person to enjoy this. The logic was very smooth, I don't think this is anywhere close to the hardest of the puzzles on the site.

This is a marvelous puzzle with one of the most creative combination of rules I've ever seen. It took me a long time to think through the implications of the rule sets. The puzzle was still very challenging even after I did get a good idea of how to approach it. I'm baffled by how you set this, but thanks very much.

I really enjoyed this! I found it quite hard at first, but then I got the hang of the ruleset. It creates a lot of nice interactions between the shapes and the numbers, and remained interesting and challenging throughout. Thanks for setting it!
