Rules 1:

Normal sudoku rules apply, and all clues are standard.

Thermometers: digits on thermometers increase from the bulb.

Barbell by Scott Strosahl https://link.sudoku-sleuth.com/Barbell

Rules 2:

Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in every row, column, and box.

Kropki Dots: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio, meaning one is exactly double the other. Not all dots are necessarily given.

Region Sum Lines: Blue lines in the grid are Region Sum Lines. Lines are split into segments by box borders. Within each individual line, the sum of the digits on each segment is the same. The sum of segments on different lines may or may not be equal.
