Oh, I see what the "O" thermos are.
They are 4 separate thermos. The thermos that have the bulb at R1C4 stop at R2C3 and R2C5. The same goes with the thermos that have the bulb at R3C4.

Updated comment - Now solved and confirmed it is a correct solve. Still don't see how the Thermometers in R1C4 follow the rules (I solved everything else and left that bit until the last possible moment).
Just to add, this is not a moan. I assume I am misunderstanding something not that the puzzle has an error / ambiguity.
I'm enjoying your puzzle journey since you start on V day 2023

I have missed something here. I don't get how the Thermometers in R1C4 and R3C4 actually fulfils the rules of Thermometers. One But will always be big than the other and you get stuck in a circle. Not a negative comment. Just a confused comment

Thank you for this, my kids are interested in variant sudoku and they ask me how you can solve with no given digits, tough to find puzzles they can solve completely independently.

@BKKGarrett : one of the most fair and clever sentence i have ever read on this site for many many years....

Great puzzle! We need more easy ones! Really annoyed how whenever someone posts a 1-star puzzles, some will inevitably feel the need to complain that it's "too easy" and even that the need to make 'em harder. Good grief! You have so, so many difficult puzzles to challenge you on this forum every day. Just don't do the easy ones and leave those to those of us who do enjoy them.

Great puzzle, thanks! It is on the easy side, but some of us enjoy those easy puzzles. Hope to see more from you, @Kirra! :)

That one is a little too easy. I am a medium class solver and needed less than 2 minutes.
Anyway thx for posting and pls try to improve.

This could serve well as someone's introduction to variant Sudoku or Sudoku in general, and it has a cute theme. For anyone who is not an absolute beginner, it is likely trivially easy. Nice and cute for the beginner audience though!
