Mad Scientist - Solving My Own Sudoku
This is my solve path for my "Mad Scientist" sudoku using the Thermo and Psycho Killer constraints.
The psycho killer constraint is one I created.
I created this puzzle so people who are wanting to learn the psycho killer constraint can do so more easily. I do feel this puzzle is a good introduction to this ruleset.

Rules:
- Normal Sudoku Rules
- There are some thermometer shapes in the grid. Along these thermometers, digits must strictly increase from the bulb end.
- Red cages are psycho killer cages. Digits placed in cages point to boxes in the grid, and provide a referred digit which is the digit in the same position in the box that is pointed to. The referred digits in the cage must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Referred digits may repeat.
eg If there is a 2 in a cage, then the referred digit will be the digit in the same position in box 2; and that is the digit that will contribute to the cage total.
