This was a fun little puzzle, I enjoyed the interactions between each of the lines in the cool Ss and between each

This was a very slick construction indeed. The fact that each S provided such intricate logic that flowed so nicely, and the interactions between them, seemed almost miraculous. And to top it off, completely symmetrical Dutch Whispers to disambiguate. Thoroughly enjoyed this

Absolutely exquisite, one of my favourite puzzles, the interlinking of the logic is quite superb

The ruleset on this page doesn't mention the (slow) thermometers.
