Beaker, by James Sinclair
Normal sudoku rules apply, and all clues are standard.
Thermometers: digits on the thermometer increase from the bulb.
Entropic lines: along the orange line, every set of three adjacent cells must contain one low digit (1-3), one middle digit (4-6), and one high digit (7-9).
Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.

Loved the interaction between thermo and entropic line.

I love when at the beginning I ask myself, "How are there possibly enough clues"? And then I find the break in
