- Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in every row, column, or box, without repetition.
- Killer Slow Thermometers. Digits along thermometers must increase or stay the same from the bulb end. Numbers in bulb cells indicate the sum of the digits on the thermometer. Thermometers are all straight lines.
For bonus credit, see if you can solve it without using pencil marks. It is possible to do!

Solving without pencilmarks is hard. Fortunately, this puzzle is not.

The killer slow thermos are such a nice variant! The mental math is lovely too :)

I agree. It's possible to do without pencil marks.
Unfortunately i forgot this after the start and used them.
