Set Theory (but harder)
(Published on 8. January 2025, 22:39 by HmWhyNot)
When I made my first puzzle I made a bunch of variations just seeing what works.
This was a harder variation I came up with that uses less cages but still has a unique solution. I figured it was worth putting up as well just to see how it does.

Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Every cage has the same sum.
Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
Digits on a thermometer increase from the bulb end.
Solution code: row 8 right, column 8 down

A great intersection of set theoretical ideas. For solvers comfortable with familiar set entries, this will topple with more ease, but this is still a tricky puzzle with some key deductions (which arent really set based) perhaps high 3* low 4* all else equal...No spoilers though! I really enjoyed this, thank you

Really enjoyed that. Hated the endgame untill I realized I had to return to previous deductions. Very nice. Loved it. It took me almost an hour. And appreciated every step.
