Took me a while (22:30) because I could not figure out the break-in for a while, then finally stumbled upon it. Very, very nicely done. Excellent setting.

that felt super nice to solve ;
with the ring and it's implications as a break in it is a 1* puzzle I'd say, don't know what it felt like using a different approach.

very nice solve, very smooth no kickups (well I got stuck but only to realise that a thermometer obviously cannot have it's biggest number in the middle position)

Thank you!
