P for Puzzle
(Published on 20. November 2023, 20:48 by Kowadis)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Some "P" shapes like the one that is drew appear in the grid (without any rotation nor symmetry), they satisfy the following conditions:
* two distinct "P" cannot touch each other orthogonally, they can touch diagonally
* the digit that goes inside the bulb is strictly lower than all the other ones in the thermo
* the three digits that go onto the stem of the "P" (marked as the blue line) form a parity combo (for example even-even-odd or odd-even-even), each combination need to appear at least once in a "P" on the grid, order matters
* first "P" is given, solver needs to find the others

Interesting construction! Seems like lots of possibilities for digits and they just melt away when you look at them more closely.
