Below Zero (Entropy Antimatter)
(Published on 20. April 2024, 10:52 by Mad-Tyas)
Rules:
Sudoku: Fill every row, column and marked 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
Thermometer: Along thermometers "values" have to strictly increase from the bulb to the tip.
Entropy: Each 2x2 box in the grid has to contain a low digit (1, 2, 3), a middle digit (4, 5, 6) and a high digit (7, 8, 9).
Antimatter: If a digit is orthogonally adjacent to one or more digits of the same entropy group (i.e. {123}, {456} and {789}) its "value" becomes negative.
Have fun solving!

Always happy to solve another Mad-Tyas entropy squares puzzle, no matter how long it takes me ^_^

That one took some thinking. Not convinced I didn't make a lucky guess along the way. Definitely a puzzle worth trying.
