Rules:
- Place the digits 0-9, once each, into every row, column, 3x3 box, and the marked diagonal.
To enable this, one cell in every row, column, and 3x3 box is a “Schrödinger cell” that contains two digits.
The value of a Schrödinger cell is the sum of its digits.
- Digits in a cage do not repeat, and their values sum to the number in the cage's upper left corner.
- Along a thermometer, values must increase from the bulb end.
- Values joined by a white dot must be consecutive and values joined by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.
- Values separated by X sum to ten and values separated by V sum to five.
- Not all dots, X's, and V's are given.
- Digits must not repeat on the marked diagonal.
Solution code: Enter the digits in row 2 from left to right, Schrödinger cell included (no commas or spaces inbetween).
