Pair up! [odd/even thermos]
(Published on 25. August 2024, 06:18 by PhysicistFromFunen)
Ruleset:
The puzzle is also available online in the CtC App.
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Turquoise (orange) thermometers restrict only even (odd) digits. That is, on a turquoise thermometer, the even digits strictly increase from the bulb end, and likewise for odd digits on an orange thermometer. Digits of the unrestricted parity can go anywhere and in any order on a thermometer.
- Thermometers are strictly dominated by digits of the restricted parity. E.g. a 6 cell orange thermometer must have at least 4 odd digits.
The puzzle is also available online in the CtC App.
Solution code: Box 8, in reading order.

I feel I'm beginning to get the hang of these at last. And I agree that box 5 is best solved entirely from first principles!

Very nice approachable 2 star. Made a mistake making a wrong assumption in box 5 first. Great fun thx.
