The Rules:

• Digits along a blue palindrome line read the same forwards or backwards.
• Digits along each purple Renban line must be a set of consecutive digits in any order, and must not repeat.
• Adjacent digits along each green German Whisper line must have a difference of at least 5.
• Digits along each yellow thermometer must increase starting from the bulb end.
• A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.

The break in is very elegant, not outrageously difficult but at least 3.5 to 4 stars, all the rest goes so smoothly with 2.5 to 3 stars for difficulty. Either way, it's 100% fun all around!

Very nice puzzle, but i also think that the difficulty level is more like two stars.

I absolutely loved the way in which the lines interacted in order to get the first digit in one of the most surprising opening places.

The opening logic with the whisper line in box 2 is excellent, probably a bit too difficult for most people but very satisfying if you have patience to work through it!

3 stars is a bit generous. Very approachable.
