Normal sudoku rules apply
Digits in Cages sum to a total that falls within the range given in the corner of the cage (e.g. 16±2 could be 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18)
In addition, each cage is either an ODD cage or an EVEN cage, meaning the total AND all digits within the cage are odd or even
Digits must increase moving from bulb to tip on thermometers, but the bulbs have been removed (bulb must be at one end, not the middle of thermos)

Here's something interesting: I avoided this puzzle for the past few days because I thought there was no way this puzzle had a valid unique solution with all of these ambiguous cage totals. Then I remembered a key rule of this puzzle and I had it solved in a half-hour. One of my favorite puzzles of 2024!
