I rated this 2/5 difficulty
Great puzzle! It had several wonderful ideas that made for an engaging and interesting solve. Really great use of slow thermos & jigsaw geometries.
I think 2* is a fair difficulty for the puzzle. It took me a few minutes of experimenting/thinking before I determined how I would color the puzzle, but after I figured that out, the remainder of my solve went smooth. The logic for coloring was a bit tricky, and was in the medium 2* difficulty range IMO. The digit disambiguation was easier than the coloring, and felt around 1* difficulty.
The puzzle did a great job of remaining reasonably approachable without being trivial at all. Working through the logic was very entertaining, and I found the "important"/major deductions very rewarding.
The current user rating is 88%, which is unfortunate & definitely underrated. The logic is excellent & totally fair for the difficulty rating, and I don't see any issues with the puzzle/rules/design/etc that would warrant a sub 90% (or even higher) rating. Either way, I definitely recommend giving the puzzle a go!
Thanks for sharing!
