Puzzle Link

Initial Setter Difficulty: 2-2.5 / 5

Normal Sudoku rules apply
Place the digits 1-9 so that they do not repeat in any row, column, or 3x3 box.

Dutch Flats
Every 5 in the grid must have a '1' directly above it or a '9' directly below it. It may have both, but it doesn't need both.

Odd/Even Thermometers
Digits on a grey thermometer strictly increase from the bulb end. Additionally, each thermometer contains either all odd or all even numbers.

Hint to start

A quick win would be to pencilMark (Goodliffe) C3, and then find the happy cell for a 5. Never forget the rules, happy 5s make for a happy solve!

Special Thanks
Next week, more parity thermos!! Thank you in advance to palpot, who hits the Goldilocks zone, with a wonderful puzzle that is not too Hot, nor too Cold!

Lösungscode: Digits in Row 6 (left to right)

Vaguely miraculous (though hard) it never felt like there was enough information for that to possibly solve
