- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Turquoise (orange) thermometers restrict only even (odd) digits. That is, on a turquoise thermometer, the even digits strictly increase from the bulb end, and likewise for odd digits on an orange thermometer. Digits of the unrestricted parity can go anywhere and in any order on a thermometer.
- Thermometers are strictly dominated by digits of the restricted parity. E.g. a 6 cell orange thermometer must have at least 4 odd digits.

Took me awhile to fully internalize the parity aspect of the thermos. Had to keep rewinding when i realized i'd messed up my pencils, but eventually it all clicked! Cute puzzle!
