Plato is feeling unwell. As a hypochondriac, he has thermometers for all occasions.
These thermometers have different scales, which always sum to an odd prime.
All the thermometers have different prime sums. They are all here somewhere! But Plato has misplaced some.
Solve the Sudoku to find the missing thermometers.

My apologies if some have found it difficult to work out the solution code. Yes, this puzzle is easy - I wanted to give you something to think about!
In the example above there are two solutions for 13, the first in reading order is 1237, not 1246. I hope this helps.
Lösungscode: Enter the digits of the missing thermometers, beginning with the lowest sum thermometer, in order of increasing sum.
The location of a missing thermometer is the first one you find with that sum, in reading order (T-L to B-R).
Follow this with the row and column number of each thermometer in turn, again by increasing sum.

Added a comment about how to work out the solution code!

Ich habe den Lösungscode verstanden, aber hartnäckig das falsche Thermometer eingegeben ...
Ansonsten: Schönes Rätsel!

The solution code is the most difficult of this puzzle

Your solution code was a puzzle of its own!!!

Great puzzle, but the solution code is too confusing.

For the people struggling with the solution code, you can draw in 2 more thermometers yourself that sum to a prime not used so far in the puzzle. Solution code is the digits of those two thermometers, and the co-ordinates of the bulb of each.
@steelwool Thanks Greg. It seems the solution code is trickier than the puzzle! I added an example.

Like others here, I've solved the puzzle but the solution code is too confusing. Maybe provide an example of thermometers and what the solution code should be in that example.

The puzzle wasn't too bad but I have no idea what the expected format is supposed to be. It would be helpful if you could include an example for the format!

Excellent puzzle, but the solution code is awkward for sure.

I do agree, I am very confused with the solution code

Puzzle itself is not too difficult, but it took me several attempts to work out what form the solution code should go in, so it may be worth clarifying that, possibly with an example
