This is my third puzzle in a trilogy about mysterious lines. I constructed this puzzle on September 8, 2021. The first one in the series is Mysterious Lines and the second is Mysterious Lines 2: All WRAPT Up.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Adjacent digits on a line have a difference of at least 5.
No line contains the exact same set of digits as any other line.
A line is also either a thermometer or an arrow:
Thermometer: One end of a line is a bulb, and all digits along the line increase from it.
Arrow: One end of a line is a circle, and all other digits along the line sum to it.
(Note: The green line in box 1 is green just to distinguish it from the overlapping gray line.)
Puzzle:
Lösungscode: Enter rows 4 and 7

I'd have solved this 20 minutes earlier if I had remembered the rule about no combination of digits can be the same. Great puzzle

This is also a nice member of the Mysterious Lines Series. Not that hard at all and also deservers more solves. It's close to red stars, so hopefully it will get that little push that is still necessary...

Das war wirklich klasse.
Absolut logisch lösbar mit gut zu findendem Einstieg.
(Wie alle Rätsel, die ich bisher von Dir gelöst habe).
That was really great.
Absolutely logically solvable with easy-to-find entry.
(Like all the puzzles I have solved from you so far).

Thanks so much!

@kaitoJD Thanks for the suggestion! Hopefully it's clearer now.

I might suggest making the rule that no line can repeat digits be on its own line. I overlooked it initially. Fun series otherwise!
