PUZZLE NO. 208 : THERMO - LITTLE KILLER HYBRID SUDOKU

We have all had a very difficult 2020. Let us all hope that 2021 brings us happiness and prosperity. Wish all of you a Happy New Year 2021 in advance. Here is a 2021 themed Thermo - Little Killer hybrid sudoku.


RULES : Classic Sudoku rules apply. 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. Also, the numbers with arrows outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits appearing in the cells in the corresponding direction. Numbers may repeat in the direction of the arrow.

  2. Wow that was insanely hard, not sure even if there is logical solution, I have definitely missed it. Had to do in two sittings. Happy New Year.

  3. Tried this yesterday and I have the same opinion as Swaroop. It's a shame that this sudoku wasn't logically solveable despite my best effort or else we would have featured this on the channel today and would have been apt.I seriously doubt there is a logical solution to it. Can you give it a a try again and ensure that there is one @akash ?
