Hey everyone! I’ve been hard at work, and I’ve created a series of puzzles themed around global entropy with a couple different constraints. There are five puzzles total and they get harder as they go on, but I promise they each have a unique solution!

Rules are the same throughout, but some rules aren’t relevant to every puzzle. All relevant rules will be stated at the beginning of each puzzle, so dont worry about memorizing all of these.

Normal sudoku rules apply. Every 2x2 box must contain one digit from 1-3, one from 4-6, and one from 7-9. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive, and digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Digits separated by an X or a V sum to ten or five, respectively. Not all black dots, white dots, Xs, and Vs are necessarily given. Digits along a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb end. Digits in grey circles must be odd. Digits in cages do not repeat and sum to the given number. Digits along a pink line must not repeat and form a set of consecutive digits in any order. Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle.
