If anyone enjoys this solve, they may wish to try some more challenging puzzles using similar rulesets:
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Renban lines: Digits along pink lines are a consecutive set without repeats.
- Pointer thermos: Digits along thermometers increase in value from the bulb end. Additionally, thermometer tips point towards a cell containing the digit within the bulb. The value in the tip indicates the distance to this cell. There may be other instances of the digit between the tip and this cell.
Below is an example to illustrate the ruleset.
