This is my first attempt at creating a variant sudoku puzzle, I hope you enjoy it! Advice/Criticism is welcome and much appreciated. You can play it here on SudokuPad.
Rules:
Normal irregular sudoku rules apply; Place the digits 1-4 once each in every row, column, and 4 cell region. Digits strictly increase along a thermometer from the bulb to the tip. Digits on an arrow sum to the digit in the circle attached to the arrow. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Digits in a cell with a gray circle are odd.
Solution code: First and last columns

Omce again I'm impressed by how much logic one can fit into such a tiny grid

Well, unless I missed some very obvious logic somewhere, that actually briefly had me stumped. I was expecting a simple breeze but spent a few minutes halfway through trying to figure out what was next!
