Normal sudoku rules apply.
A cell is shaded if the sequence in its row and the sequence in its column are each ascending or descending, with 1 and 9 reversing the direction.
A digit on an arrow indicates the distance to a shaded cell in that direction. If multiple shaded cells are in that direction, the arrow may indicate the distance to any of those shaded cells.
Digits along a thermometer increase from the bulb.
Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.

Solution code: Column 5
