PUZZLE NO. 250 : THERMO - KROPKI PAIRS HYBRID SUDOKU

 

A 250 themed sudoku for the 250th sudoku of my blog. 

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, if the absolute difference between two digits in neighboring cells equals 1, then they are separated by a white dot. If the digit in a cell is half or double of the digit in a neighboring cell, then they are separated by a black dot. The dot staying between 1 and 2 can have any of these dots. All possible dots are not marked.
