Hot Potato (Slingshot Thermometers)
(Published on 15. June 2026, 18:47 by NotVeryNeat)
Ow! Ouch! Hot!Hot! Solve with caution, apply ice as needed. I have seen puzzles that combine arrows and slingshots and loved them, so I thought I would try to find more ways to use slingshots with other constraints. Enjoy!
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Thermometers: Digits along a thermometer increase from bulb to tip. Red thermometers also function as slingshots. For each slingshot thermometer, the digit in the bulb also appears N cells away from the tip in the direction the tip is pointing, where N is the number in the tip.
