You bastard! I enjoyed this puzzle so much that I audibly yelled when I finished it, which caused my dog to run away in fear. So yes I loved your puzzle but I'm blaming you for scaring my dog!
Lol, thanks for the puzzle it was a joy.

do the branched thermometers count as one big thermometer or two thermometers with the same bulb when counting the shaded/unshaded cell split?
*Two thermos with the same bulb. Sorry for not clarifying that, my bad.
