I expected this one to be harder than typical, considering the ambiguity rule on this puzzle, but I found that I only had to use that a single time, and it was a very obvious deduction. I also found that I had to use the thermos a lot less in this puzzle than I usually seem to. The ending just fell apart under basic sudoku. Still very fun, but surprisingly easy despite my first glance.
