An approachable 8x8-Sudoku with a novel idea. Despite the ruleset, there is not much arithmetic required to solve the puzzle. Enjoy!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku Rules apply. Place the digits 1-8 exactly once in each row, column and thick-outlined box.
If two cages have the same color, the digits inside those cages cannot sum to the same total. The different cage colors have been labeled with letters for colorblind-friendliness.
Digits along a thermometer strictly increase, starting from the bulb.
Grey squares contain even digits.
Solution code: Row 1 and Column 7

This was a fun one. It took me a while to wrap my head around the implications of the restrictions, but it was a fun discovery process.

Nice Puzzle. The restrictions on the cage totals made for some very nice logic :)
