The Fewer the Clues, The More They Help!
Here's where you can play 4 O' Clock by Just Kirb: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/nnPMBR9jhR Normal sudoku rules apply. White dots show all orthogonal neighbors whose digits are consecutive, and black dots show a 1:2 ratio relationship in orthogonal neighbors. All dots are given. Digits along thermos increase from the bulb. The square indicates an even digit.
