The counters are an enjoyable twist on some classic constraints. At first I panicked and thought it was impossible, but I realized I had added a rule to the counters that wasn’t there.

It took me a long time to resolve the bottom thermos. Unless I missed an obvious clue, those are much harder than they appear. I think this sudoku deserves a 3* rating.

Fun little variation. Thanks.

I think this is a fair rating (2*), though the break-in makes it pretty quick after that.
