Thank you sujoyku and jmbrow29 for testing.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits along a thermometer must increase starting at the bulb.
Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least five.

What an interesting puzzle. Its amazing how it solves with only vertical thermometers and a single horizontal German Whisper line.

Great puzzle! Break in was nice but I'd say my favourite part was the ending on columns 4 and 6.

Very nice puzzle! Loved the beginning break in to figure out the orientation of the whisper line!

I agree with Sujoyku - the logic here is great fun. There are some lovely interactions which encourage you to think about a familiar constraint in a new way. Well done!

Thank you for this great thermo sudoku, CaptZebraCakes! Testing the puzzle was huge fun. It contains very cool logic without being too hard to crack. Superb setting!

Decided to listen to the song on repeat in order to motivate me to finish the puzzle faster.
Had to listen to it 3 times in agony :-)
