(Published on 20. June 2024, 18:10 by 99%Sneaky)
#1 Normal sudoku rules apply.
#2 Digits along the thermometer must increase from the bulb to the tips.
#3 Digits along arrows sum to the digit in the attached circle.
#4 The digits in the cage sum to the small number printed in the corner. Digits may not repeat in the cage.
#5 Along the blue line thick box boarders divide the line into segments with equal sums. When the line re-enters a box a new segment is formed.
#6 Cells separated by a knight's move in chess may not contain the same digit.

Great concept. Good to see this on the CTC channel. Simon says “Take a bow”. https://youtu.be/8u3cTGLy9QE?si=0JE0i5WZLZzOLLNJ

I started this puzzle late at night and had a bit of a struggle to the finish, but it was so clever I solved it again in the morning so I could appreciate the ideas that I missed the first time

Fun all the way through. Especially appreciate the break-in that crumbles at a satisfying pace.

Thank you for this great puzzle, 99%Sneaky! I broke the puzzle at first which taught me to be careful when it comes to branching thermos. :)
But kidding aside: I loved the starting phase and very much enjoyed the process how more and more digits get disambiguated. Great setting!
