Crudometers
(Published on 18. September 2025, 20:03 by billybeth)
Normal sudoku rules apply
The pink lines are crudometers which act like less accurate thermometers increasing digits from the bulb end but in this case using either only even or only odd numbers on each line. The crudometers in this puzzle are in fact Slow Crudometers which allow repeats along the line if other sudoku rules permit. Some of the bulbs are missing and the solver must determine where they go.

I loved this! Thermometers without bulbs are always interesting to figure out, and I enjoyed how the odd/even limitation interacted with the other constraints to lead to some fun deductions.
