Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

Hey! Not sure yet how this will go in terms of difficulty. I chose 4 stars but it may even feel as a 3.5 or even 3, so it is up to solvers to determine it. Additionally, if you notice something weird, or lacking logic please write it down (I hard checked, but there´s always a doubt :p)

Normal sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1-9 into every row, column and 3x3 box. -Red Difference Lines: Each red line has a value, V, determined by the formula: V = L - B where *L is the sum of the digits on the line. *B is the total sum of all digits that are not on the line, but lie within any 3x3 box that the line enters. For example, if a line visits both Box 1 and Box 2, B is the sum of all digits in Box 1 and Box 2 that are not part of the line. -The values, V, of all lines in the grid must form a set of consecutive, non-repeating positive integers. -Slow Thermometers: Additionally, all red lines act as slow thermometers. Digits must never decrease moving along the line starting from the bulb (i.e., each digit must be equal to or greater than the previous digit). The bulb end of each line is not marked and must be determined by the solver. -Kropki Dots: Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by a black dot must contain digits in a 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
