Thermo-Knight
(Published on 3. September 2025, 00:34 by brtmns)
Here is my second chess knight shaped puzzle. This one is trickier than the first one.
Also, this time the knight reminds the real anti-knight rule not the anti-anti-knight.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits strictly increase along a thermometer, starting from the bulb.
A Latin numeral separates two digits that add to corresponding number.
Two cells a chess knight’s move apart cannot contain the same digit.
A cell with a gray circle must contain an odd digit.

Solution code: column 9 top to bottom 9 digits.

Very nice but tough - took me 61 minutes so I think I missed any obvious break in.
