The Power Of The Three Knights
(Published on 17. November 2022, 06:10 by Tingo)
This is the second in my "Power of the Knights" series.
The entire series can be found here
Rules:
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
Any two cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
White dots indicate consecutive digits. Black dots indicate digits of a ratio of 2:1 Not all dots are given.
All digits on a thermometer must increase from the bulb end.
Each thermometer represents a Knight. Each Knight has a rank of 1, 2, or 3, and each rank only appears once in puzzle. The value of the thermometer of the Knight equals 3^n where n is the rank of the Knight. Each Knight's rank must be determined by the solver.
The puzzle can be played at F-Puzzles here!

Solution code: Row 1 followed by Column 2, no spaces

For English, would make a lot more sense to say the "sum of digits on a thermo" instead of the "value" of the thermo. I was able to decipher that, but that wording was confusion. Other than that, nice, fun GAS.

Fun puzzle. Solved the March 3 puzzle and learned of this series. Will give all these a try. Thank you.

I don't think the link to the series is working for anyone but you due to the last parameter "&suchort=meine" - it works well if you remove it. That is the case with all the puzzles in series as the link is the same on all the pages.

Had a lot of difficulty at the beginning because I made an assumption that the "rank" of the knights' thermometers equaled the bulb, but quite nice after that was sorted

Very easy, yet also very enjoyable puzzle. I think only 1 out of 5 for difficulty, but for many people I think it can be a great introduction to variant puzzle logic. This is one that I would recommend to people who want an approachable puzzle learning the interaction between thermos, kropki and knights move.
- Thanks for solving and thanks for the review! - Tingo
