Thermodulators

(Published on 12. October 2022, 20:17 by FullDeck-Missing)

Normal sudoku rules apply. Each row, column, and box must contain a complete set of the digits 1-9.

Digits along a thermometer must strictly increase from bulb to top. Digits along the thermometer do not have to be consecutive.

Kropki pairs: Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are shown.

Modular lines: every set of three sequential digits along a line must contain a complete set of residues modulo 3, i.e. one digit from {1,4,7}, one from {2,5,8}, and one from {3,6,9}. Digits may repeat on a line if allowed by other rules.

Try the puzzle on the CTC.

Very cool puzzle!
I don't see why the remark on two-cell lines is necessary, since there are only modular lines of length >= 3.

>> You're right ...it was part of a pack and we didn't edit out that part even though it doesn't apply here. We will do so, though, and appreciate your comment!
