This is my first time setting a puzzle. I'd love to hear what people think!
Rules:Standard sudoku rules apply to the central 9x9 cells, i.e., cells must be filled with the digits 1-9 so that the no row, column, or indicated 3x3 region has a repeated digit.
Cells outside the 9x9 which have marks on them must also contain digits 1-9.
The exterior digits in cages are sandwich clues: reading left-to-right (rows) or top-to-bottom (columns) they indicate the sum of the digits between 1 and 9 in the corresponding row or column.
The remaining exterior digits are skyscraper clues. They indicate how many cells can be 'seen' from that direction (i.e., when traversing the row/column from that direction how many cells contain digits larger than all of the preceding cells).
Digits on thermometers must increase from bulb to tip.
Digits on a line must be a set of distinct consecutive numbers, but may be in any order.
Solution code: Row 7 followed by column 7 (18 digits, no spaces)
