for those people who are new here, mr. toffee has done about a million of these puzzles, which are, the conversion of a DRAWING to a sudoku, using ONLY slow thermos. (although, to be frank, the interpretation of the DRAWING requires some or much imagination)
the colour, of course, is relevant ONLY to the DRAWING, and the sudoku is plain grey.
now, what is the most SUCCINCT way of defining "slow thermo", if the term itself, which is already well known, is not enough? it is "numbers along the thermo do not decrease", exactly as stated here. there will always be those who insist on adding unnecessary verbiage to that formulation.

Slightly odd way to word this rule, I've always seen it worded as "digits must increase or stay the same as they move along the thermometer" or very similar, which I find far easier to interpret. Also not sure why the grid image on here is very differently colored than the actual puzzle. But the solve was fine once I realized the right way to interpret it

I am very sorry, not row 9, row 1 for the solution code.

The correct code is Row 1

Thank you, I'm most apologetic.

Seems row 9 is not the correct solution.

I'm so sorry, it is row one. I don't know what I was thinking.

Thanks! That one worked :)

code?

Very sorry, it was incorrectly labeled, it should've always been row one.
