(Published on 28. August 2024, 17:50 by Chilly)
Here's another older puzzle of mine, that didn't get published yet. Slow thermometers experiment.
The Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Slow thermometers: all thermos are slow thermos - from the bulb end, digits do not decrease along a slow thermo.

Really cool puzzle Chilly. It was my first slow thermo puzzle so took me a while but really like the little deductions that unfolded throughout :)
Thanks! Glad you liked.

Quite fun, thanks! But I'd say 2/5 stars for difficulty at most.
I did think about setting it at 2*, but there are a couple of slightly trickier deductions which made me hesitate - you can see these described on the stream I shared above.
