- Normal sudoku rules apply to the **absolute value** of *every digit from 0 to 8.*
- The solver must shade every cell to assign a positive or negative value to every digit except zero such that *every row, column, and box must sum to zero.* Zero is to remain unshaded.
- The positive or negative value assigned to each digit is considered the "actual value" and is the same throughout the puzzle i.e. if it is determined that 1 has a positive value in a cell, then 1 must have a positive value in all instances of 1 in the puzzle.
- The *actual values* of digits on an arrow path sum to the digit in the circle.
- The *actual values* of digits along a thermometer must increase from the bulb end.
- White dots join cells with consecutive *actual values.* All possible white dots have been provided.
Penpa Link: https://git.io/JtXPdLösungscode: Actual values of row 8 followed by column 8 with no spaces (34 characters). Ex. Row values of [+1, +2, -3, -4, 0, -5, -6, +7, +8] --> +1+2-3-40-5-6+7+8

I assume the mistake is on my end and that I am probably doing something wrong, but I keep breaking the puzzle by having a 1 next to a 0 without a white dot. That combination is not allowed correct?
Update: Yup...I’m an idiot. Found my mistake.

Such interesting logic, well worth the time spent getting used to the rules! Hope you get more solves :)
