There are two valid solutions to this puzzle. The rules for both solutions are as follows. Normal Sudoku rules apply. Digits in every cell must differ by at least 4 from the other solution. Numbers must not repeat on the two diagonals. Numbers in a thermometer must increase as they move away from the bulb. Numbers in a cage must sum to the given total in the top-left.
This is the first Sukdoku I've ever made. I hope its good enough to Cracking the Cryptic!
Solution code: The first two rows from the solution with the 3 in the corner.

I love this 2 solutions variant but I think it would be better to include both solutions in the solution code.

Fixed link to it does not point to solution. Oops.

Die Lösung des Rätsels wird sehr dadurch vereinfacht, dass du direkt auf die Lösung verlinkt hast. ;-)

Ich verstehe dass so, dass nur bei einem Lösungspaar sich alle Felder um mindestens 4 unterscheiden.
Der Titel sagt ja aus, dass man "stereo" lösen muss.

Your link goes to the solution of the puzzle!
OK - thanks to SKORP for clarifying - there are many solutions, but only one pair has a difference of at least four for every digit. I was assuming there were only two solutions and it so happens that the digits differ by at least 4.
