Regular Sudoku
Slow-Thermo
(O) Bulbs ≤ Tips ( I )
Digits mustn't decrease along thermometers from bulb to tip.
...Digits may therefore repeat along thermometers.
Flows may merge, diverge or loop, but must always end at a given tip.
In all circumstances, flow must be determined.
Colours are merely aesthetic and not part of the puzzle.
Off-grid lines are barely aesthetic and not part of the puzzle.

Solution code: Column 9 from top to bottom

the only important question to ask here is "what did you do with that jumbuk?"
as for the silly quality rating, come on,people. this is a SLOW THERMO puzzle. mr. toffee is the CHAMPION of turning art into slow thermo puzzles. they live in a particular space. there are specific principles and procedures that are used. if you don't like that space, don't do the puzzle.

Added another line to the English rules.

I found the rules about the thermo merging very confusing

Added (a version of) the suggested rule change.

I think the important thing to note in the rules, and this might be why people are hesitant to rate the puzzle, is that all thermo ends are visible. There isn't anywhere where two thermos meet in the middle. If the rules on this puzzle (and the others, presumably) were updated to include that, it would take out a lot of uncertainty from the solver's process.

I actually managed to find the way the thermos worked pretty quick, then got stuck because of a wrong pencil mark. Thanks for setting
