So Many Broken Thermos (Version 2)
(Published on 2. December 2024, 18:44 by LittleNightmaresLady)
Rules:
-Normal sudoku rules apply.
-The grey line is a bulbless thermo, where digits along the grey line must increase from one end to the other. No other 2x2 in the grid can have a orthogonal sequence of increasing digits.
-The cells separated by the yellow dot have an even difference, cells separated by a blue dot have an odd difference, and cells separated by a white dot have a difference indicated (1 if blank, less than 7 if marked with ?). Not all dots are necessarily given.
-A number in a big circle indicates that digit must appear in at least one of the four surrounding cells.

756m on the clock ^_^ I felt like if I just kept plugging away at it, perhaps the subtleties of the ruleset which had so far eluded me would become evident... Sadly that was not the case

darf die Differenz bei einem blauen Dot 1 betragen?

Yes, 1 is odd.
