Herniated Ring-4
(Published on 25. October 2025, 00:02 by brtmns)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
A black dot separates two digits such that one is twice the other.
Digits cannot repeat within a cage, and the digits within a cage must add up to the total given in that cage’s upper-left corner.
A cell with a gray circle must contain an odd digit.
Digits strictly increase along a thermometer, starting from the bulb.
