Complimentary Interconnected Forces
(Published on 1. November 2024, 22:31 by HalfBakedLunatic)
This puzzle was created specifically for Simon Anthony on CTC. If you have ever seen Simon solve a Yin-Yang sudoku, you will get the joke at the end!
The Rules:
• Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
• Digits along a thermometer must increase from the bulb end
• The digits in a cage must sum to the number printed in its corner, if given. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
• Shade some cells such that the shaded cells and the unshaded cells each form a single orthogonally-connected region. No 2x2 area can be completely shaded or unshaded (Yin-Yang rules)
• Even number digits in a cage are always shaded, odd digits are always unshaded
• Odd number digits on a thermometer are always shaded, even digits are always unshaded

This is hilarious! It's a great puzzle on its own, very smooth solution path - and the 'Simon Pattern' is a perfectly executed surprise. Absolutely wonderful.
