PUZZLE NO. 150 : Even - Thermo - Consecutive Pairs Hybrid Sudoku



A 150 themed sudoku for the 150th sudoku of my blog

RULES : Classic sudoku rules apply. 
               Cells with grey squares will contain only even digits. 
               If a white circle is given between two adjacent cells , then the numbers in those cells will be consecutive. Not all white circles are given. 
              Additionally, there are some thermometer shapes in the grid. The numbers are in increasing order from the bulb to the flat end on each thermometer. In some of the thermometer shapes, the bulbs are missing. It is for the solver to determine at which end the bulb is for each thermometer.

  5. I'm sorry, probably being dense, but how do I do these without printing them?

    1. I normally use blank sudoku grids which are freely available online. Take a print of that and get lots of pages Xeroxed. Then copy the digits or draw the figures etc and solve

  6. Oh my!so interesting!!! To be frank I was very wary about the hybrid. But as I started, I began enjoying it thoroughly. It took me 14.1 mins but loved it. Thanks for this.
