Unexpected Thermos (DFoW)
(Published on 7. December 2024, 19:16 by Nurator)
This is my first puzzle with the new Dynamic Fog of War constraint. It features many different colors but I made extra sure to be as colorblind friendly as possible.
Also, its a direct sequel to Unexpected Places as it features strange digits in unexpected places. :)
Rules:Normal Sudoku Rules apply.
YinYang: Shade some cells such that all shaded cells are orthogonally connected, all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected and no 2x2 area is completely shaded or unshaded.
Shaded cells have their value doubled.
Thermos: Within each thermometer, values must strictly increase as they move away from the bulb. Each thermometer has a unique color and pattern to distinguish it from others. Different thermometers do not intersect, share any cell, branch or cross each other and only move orthogonally.
Dynamic Fog: The grid is covered in fog. Entering a correct digit in a cell will reveal fog from that cell and possibly other cells on the same thermo. No guessing is required.
Solution code: Column 3 (9 digits)
