Lovely solve and video today Rangsk! I thought it was actually quite neat to see the 1,2 pairs left until the end so that you can show the colouring technique and then unwind it with that final thermo. Very clean and smooth approach to the solve! Thanks again.
I laughed out loud when I realized your solve was exactly like mine, the coloring, the combining sums (green goes with blue, etc) and even starring at the puzzle going "uhhhh and how the hell do I finish th.... OH THE 3 SUM duh!!"
Nice puzzle! My time today was 2:49, solver number 52. I also colored my 12 cells, but resolved them with the 3 so didn't need to do my 45 cells. Still, there's something very satisfying with substituting in lots of digits right at the end of the puzzle, going from 33% solved to 100% solved in mere seconds!
Used to watch on tiktok shame about how they work hahah, don't understand how these are low quality videos but anyway, watching all these are a part of my day hahaha, keep it up
10:35, I colored 1/2 pairs but I had already removed the 1 from r5c1 because of the thermo logic, so I knew purple was 2 as soon I finished coloring, it just a took me awhile to get around to coloring it.
4m40s. If I don't count that it took me four attempts, because those colored arrows are just like USB plugs: wrong side up, turn around still wrong side up, turn around, still wrong side up again. 🙃

This is a very cool puzzle imo!

Glad you enjoy them!
The way I think about double arrows that see each other is that the minimum of the sum of 4 cells is 10, so the minimum of the circle is 10/2 = 5
That was a great puzzle. 7:05 for me.
