- Normal sudoku rules: Fill the grid with the digits 1-9. No digit can be repeated inside any row, column, or 3x3 box
- Even Region: Draw one orthogonally-connected region containing every even-digit cell in the entire 9x9 grid, and no odd digits (two cells are orthogonally-connected when they share a flat edge)
- White Dots: Pairs separated by a white dot must have consecutive values (one of them is exactly 1 larger than the other)
- XV: Pairs separated by a Roman numeral V (5) or X (10) must sum to that number
- Thermometers: Digits increase in value along a thermometer, with the lowest value at the bulb.
Solution code: Row 4

Honestly, I think my own incompetence (at the other puzzles I've seen on this site) is what led me to guess such a low difficulty rating, lol - "if those other ones are so hard for me, then surely this one is on the low end for this site full of fancy puzzle-solver brainiacs!" I regretted picking 2-stars after posting it but I think I'm not allowed to change my initial guess, so it'll stay there unless the puzzle manages to get the 5 solves needed for a proper user-based difficulty rating (which I think is unlikely at this point - oh well)
Nice job being the first to solve it after almost two weeks!

Maybe its my incomptence ... but fom me it was very hard - far beyond the suggested 2 stars ...
But finally even more satisfying, when solved
