- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Thermometers: Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase as they move away from the bulb.
- Dobble cages: Digits in a cage may not repeat and must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Every pair of killer cages has exactly one common digit.

@suessersenf what is meant is that EVERY cage has exactly one digit in common with EVERY OTHER cage, no matter what pair you choose - in each case there must be exactly (!) one common digit for the two cages you select.

the 'dobble cage' rule to me is unclear. What do you mean by every pair? do i know which cages are in a pair or do i have to find out while solving? mainly this confuses me because the number of cages is not divisible into pairs.. so is one of the cages not in a pair?

I struggled with this for a while, then went away and had a coffee and it suddenly hit me. Really, really nice puzzle!

Thank you for this entertaining puzzle, krtekcze! The Dobble cage is a very nice concept. In the beginning, I had to think a while how to make proper use of the rule. Therefore, I have given 2/5 difficulty. Thank you for setting and sharing!

CTC link is missing the themo line for some reason (unless I have an odd setting enabled)
