What in the world would a 'satisfying headache' feel like?

Extra challenge: Solve the sudoku without using the thermo. (as in, assign one of nine colours to each cell, such that colours do not repeat in a row, column, or box.) You may use the thermo for the final bit of disambiguation.
Cris: good point. actually, you don't even need the thermo to disambiguate :-) but I think it makes the solve a lot smoother

A great puzzle! I would definitely up the difficulty rating to 4 or even 5 stars though haha
Cris: I thought I would leave that to the solvers :-)

Fantastic puzzle. It had a wonderful "aha!" moment for me.
Cris: that's what every setter wants to hear!

Awesome! Had a lot of fun doing this! Although the possible combinations of 15 and how they fit together made my head hurt :) :)
Cris: thank you! I didn't mean to induce a headache :-O
Michel: No worries. It was a satisfying headache :D
