Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Fog of War The grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits will clear the fog from surrounding cells in the grid and the perimeter.
Domino constraint No domino in the grid sums to 3.
Perimeter sum The perimeter cells of the grid sum to 172.
Normal thermometers Digits along a grey line increase from the bulb (circle) end.
Normal German whispers Neighbouring digits along a green line differ by at least five.
Normal Kropki Cells separated by a black dot contain digits with a 1:2 ratio. Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits.
Solution code: Row 4 followed by column 6 (18 digits)

Interesting concept!

Reading the rules and seeing the puzzle I had an idea where to start. Otherwise I would not have tried a 3 star.
Still took some time and for my all my tricks to solve this.
What a nice interaction between these rules.

Wow! What a gem of a puzzle.
One of the few fog puzzles, that I've tried, with some challenge and I love it.

Really great puzzle! Like everyone else has said, the break-in was pretty brutal to get, but things went much smoother after that (even if I did hit a couple of walls)

simply brilliant break in! took me 55 minutes but never felt stumped, just slowly chipping away at the logic. well done!

Beautiful break-in and overall logic,thank you very much,this puzzle is of the highest quality.

I think this puzzle would actually be more difficult without the fog (with some col 3/7 clues moved so break-in remains the same). The fog helps direct your eyes towards the break-in very nicely.

I pretty quickly figured out what needed to be done for the break-in, but how to do it was hard. Liked the finish!

break in was tough! I thought I understood the constraints, but couldn't quite get that first digit. After the break-in its a smooth solve

Great idea for a break-in! Extremely difficult, though. Definitely one of the harder three-star puzzles I've managed.

I was initially put off by the unique ruleset, but indeed it provided some intricate logic that was fun to find! Thank you.

Very nice! Amazing, how the 1-2 restriction works.
