Minimum minimum bulbs
(Published on 30. July 2023, 20:03 by ThithildeProuv)
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits along a thermometer must strictly increase, starting from the bulb end.
Grey cells are minimum cells: they are smaller than all their orthogonal neighbors.
All minimum bulbs are given: if a bulb cell is not grey, it is not a minimum cell.

The code description in german was wrong. Entschuldingen Sie mich!

@fuxia You forgot the negative constraint: bulbs not grey aren't minimums

This puzzle isn't unique. I ended up with two deadly patterns, so I checked it with a solver: it has 5 solutions.

I'm so sorry!
The solution code description was wrong, it was (and is now) row 5 followed by column 5 (not 8);
(I have to pay attention when copy pasting)

@kporadzinski is correct - it barely matters to me whether I get to log this as completed (or anyone does), but @ThithildeProuv might care more!

There is something wrong with the code. I'm sure, that my solution is correct and after writing a code i;ve got a comment: "Oops! The solution code you entered is wrong!". As I said - I'm sure of correct solution. My 18 digits code starts from 64913 and it ends 26183. All the termomethers looks ok. All minimum bulbs issues are also correct.
