Not Your Average Thermo Puzzle
(Published on 5. March 2024, 07:25 by Scojo)
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Thermos: Along a thermometer shape, digits must increase from bulb to tip.
- Average Arrows: Digits along an orange arrow must average to the digit in that arrow's circle. Multiple arrows extending from the same circle are treated as different arrows each averaging to the circled digit. For example, a circled 3 could have 15 on one of its arrows, and 24 on the other, because both arrows would average to 3. For clarity, 'average' in this puzzle refers to the arithmetic mean.
