Liffing la vida loca

(Published on 24. August 2025, 15:00 by sujoyku)

This puzzle is dedicated to Mark and Flinty, my two idols when it comes to the powerful technique of goodliffing. It has thermos with a little twist. Goodliffing might not be strictly necessary, but is highly encouraged. :)
I thank all testers and wish you joyful solving!

Rules:

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column, and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- Bulb-gravitating Thermos: Digits along a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb end. Moreover, each thermometer is split in two parts by a red cut. The digits on the bulb part must sum to strictly more than the digits on the tip part.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solve on Sudokupad

Solution code: Column 9 from top to bottom (9 digits in total)

Thank you for your comment, PinkNickels! I am glad we are on this team together. I often try to refrain from over-marking everything, but then I am doing it anyways. :) It is good to hear you enjoyed this puzzle.
Kind regards, sujoyku

The number of times I said to myself in Simon's voice, "I must apologize for that dreadful pencil mark..."

The temptation to liffe it was far too great towards the end!

**
Thank you for your comment, GB03! I am glad to hear you gave in to the temptation and liffed up to the task. :)
Kind regards, sujoyku

Incredible title. 10/10, no notes (the puzzle's good, too <3)

**
Thank you, ViKingPrime! Your comment just made me smile. This was a case where, once I thought of the title, I had to set a puzzle for it. Somehow "liffing" made thermos come to mind. :) I am glad that you liked it.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Für den hübschen Einstieg war zu meiner Überraschung gar kein Goodliffing nötig! (Später schon…) Vielen Dank für das tolle Puzzle.

**
Sehr gern geschehen, Franjo, vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar! Es freut mich, dass Dir der Einstieg gefallen hat. Ich hoffe, das Goodliffing später war nicht zu schlimm. :)
Herzliche Grüße, sujoyku
