Lovely journey all the way through. Really enjoyed how much the aesthetic played into the solve path – practically every ‘ray’ of the sun had an interesting deduction associated with it!
This one resolves to a non-unique solution.
This has a unique solution (just reconfirmed via our code, and also no other solver has reported it). Can you share either the row(s) where you have ambiguity or an image of your apparent solution? Have you obeyed all of the thermometer clues (including the two in row 5, where a potential point of ambiguity towards the end is resolved)?
