Some minor things fixed - Link to number 15 was wrong, Quadruple rules look better with a clarification.

Thermo 6x6 is insanely difficult whilst all other 6x6 puzzles - after the break-in and careful deductions - quickly melt away. I've put 7 numbers in and I'm truly stuck - any hints?

Would be great if in future rounds, the penpa links can be retained in the pdf for practice after the contest is over.

Can you share where you are stuck (like a screenshot), so it's easier to guide/provide the next step?
