The Tea-Bag Technique
1,319*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
An almost unbelievably clever sudoku today from Blashyrkh's Sharing Economy, a thermo sudoku with one diagonal line. The ruleset is simple but this is a very original puzzle and yet another favourite in an incredible couple of weeks for sudoku.
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along thermometers increase from the bulb end. Digits do not repeat along the indicated diagonal.
