Temperature Zifferential

(Published on 26. November 2023, 23:15 by ViKingPrime)


PUZZLE:




RULES:

Normal Sudoku rules apply.

German Whisper (green): Digits along a German Whisper line must differ by at least five [5].
Thermometer: Digits along a thermometer must increase from the bulb to the tip(s).
Ziffer (purple): Digits an equal distance from the center of a Ziffer line must have a difference equal to the middle of that line.


INTRODUCTION:

This one came together rather quickly, after the initial inspiration. There's more to explore here with the concept, I think; for now, I hope this serves as a good introduction to the logic. As an aside, in my head I think of these as "Zifference" lines and I was sorely tempted to call these "Ziffmometers" but if I did I'm fairly certain I would break poor Marty Sears's heart (so no one tell him - we'll just keep this our little secret).

Here are some puzzles from other setters using the same constraint:
"Same Zifference" by Marty Sears
"Zipper or Ziffer?" by ThePedallingPianist, Marty Sears and ViKingPrime
