SVS #435 Leftover: Slow Thermos

(Published on 1. August 2025, 08:00 by Richard)

I try to keep the difficulty levels of SVS a bit down recently. The first Slow Thermometer that I made was a bit on the hard side, so I decided to publish this one as a leftover.

Slow Thermos
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Digits along a slow thermometer must either stay the same or increase from the bulb to the tips.

Ich war an manchen Stellen zu voreilig... - tricky.

Loved it... should be rated higher for sure! :)

Reply: Thanks!
I am afraid that some players might have used bifurcation instead of searching for the logic path, and because of that gave a lower rating.

Had to be pretty clever with some of my eliminations on this one. After quickly filling in my first 2 numbers, the rest of it slowed to a crawl, with steady but slow progress.
Once I finally started that chain reaction to fill in the entire puzzle, I was worried - it felt so suspicious that things were moving so smoothly for so long!

A bit more finicky than the other I've, but also fun!
