Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

This is the smallest version of a set of three puzzles with the same ruleset including chaos construction, doppelganger, and a twist on normal thermometers. I recommending solving them in order from smallest to largest, as the difficulty ramps up quickly and the larger puzzles include logic used in the smaller puzzles. I'd like to thank Wullemuus and Kafkapharnaum for their help testing this ruleset!

Rules:

1. Chaos Construction: Divide the main grid into four nonoverlapping regions such that each region is a set of four orthogonally-connected cells.
2. Doppelganger: Place the digits 0-4 into the square grid such that digits do not repeat in each row, column, and region. Digit 0 appears in every row, column, and region, but each other digit is missing in exactly one row, one column, and one region. For each 0, the digit missing in that 0's row, column, and region must be three different numbers.
3. T-lines: Grey lines are called T-lines and have the following properties:
   1) Digits strictly increase along the line from one end to the other, with the direction of increase to be determined by the solver. 2) No T-line can visit a region exactly once. For example, if a region contributes digits 1, 3, and 6 to a line, then there is a different region contributing at least one digit between 1 and 6 to the line.
4. Grey circles: There is an independent, invisible, 4-cell T-line through the four cells surrounding each grey circle.
