I liked how I couldn't find a single piece of logic to break the puzzle; every time I figured out one piece it only solved a step or two and then I'd have to come up with another idea. I appreciate puzzles that slowly unravel like that. Very interesting solve.

I'm glad it was right up your alley, snoswal! Thank you for the solve :)

Loved how that "worthless" two cell thermometer ended coming in clutch...

Haha exactly! It was the last clue I put in. Quite a powerful stubby line! Thanks for the solve RockyRoer :)
