The Knights of Ni! Finally Get Their Shrubbery
(Eingestellt am 12. Januar 2024, 17:06 Uhr von HalfBakedLunatic)
The good King Arthur was tasked with delivering a shrubbery to The Knights Who Say "Ni!"
He was thoroughly confused by such an outlandish request, and the situation got worse when he suffered a flesh wound trying to solve this outlandish puzzle. Thankfully Sir Robin showed up with a herring to save the day. Now, fart in some other general direction, release the African swallow, and help King Arthur deliver that Shrubbery.
The Rules:
• Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
• The digits along each arrow must sum to the digit in the circled cell
• Digits along green Thermometers must increase from the bulb end
• Digits along a brown palindrome must read the same in both directions
• Numbers in circled corners must be present as values in the four connected cells
• Refrain from saying "It" while in the presence of The Knights Who Say Ni!

It is a good shrubbery. I like the quadrupels particularly.
As for "The Meaning of life": Oh dear.
So many a̶w̶e̶f̶u̶l̶ great possibilities ...
But seriously, I'd love another Python sudoku. Even if it's not from my personal favourite - "Life of Brian". :)
-- Ha! Thanks @Krokant, I always look on the bright side of life - so I'm sure I can come up with something :-)

-- Excellent idea! (my personal favorite is The Meaning of Life ... hmmm, what can I do with THAT one?!) :-)

Very nice puzzle :) But to me its way harder than a 3 star, I would even say that its an easy 5 star
-- Thanks @andreatetta, very glad you liked it! The last few puzzles I've put at four stars and people have said "it's way too easy!" ... so I never know where to start :-)
But I'll bump this up to 4.
