Divisible Cages
(Published on 24. December 2022, 18:20 by Cane_Puzzles)
It's been a while since I used a novel ruleset. Here is my Killer Sudoku variant.
Rules:
1) Normal Sudoku rules apply:
Place the digits 1-9 into each cell of the grid. None of the rows, columns or boldly outlined 3x3 boxes contain repeated digits.
2) The thermometer bulbs contain strictly smaller digits than the corresponding tips.
3) If a number is given in the top left corner of a cage, the digits in the cage sum to that number. Digits cannot repeat in a cage. The set of digits in each cage can be split into two or more disjoint subsets that have the same sum. The locations of the digits within the cage don't matter.
This is the puzzle:

Solution code: Row 3 followed by Column 6 (18 digits without spaces)

Clarified that thermometer inequalities are strict.
