Thermo Dots / Thermopunkte
(Published on 25. October 2022, 16:00 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb end. Neighboring digits marked with a white Kropki dot are consecutive. Neighboring digits marked with a black Kropki dot have a 2 to 1 ratio. Not all dots are given. I think this puzzle is 1.5 stars out of 5 for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome. Thanks!

Huh, very nice!
I'm giving it three stars.
First time I tried this a few days ago I was totally stuck.
I looked again today and had an epiphany :P
** It's wonderful when epiphanies happen! :-)
