A breath of fresh air in the thermo class of puzzles. Lovely logic throughout and in particular the final few deductions. Thermo puzzles seem to all require some goodliffing but here that exercise is not trivial!

Let me try to fill in the redactions, to allow transparency.
I really enjoyed exothermic, and andrewsarchus was just soooooo cool, and I'm pretty sure AndrewSarchus could not have been any better.
