Location: Australia		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?

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

Location: India		Thank you Kumaresan Sir for a properly challenging set of sudokus. My first experience in a while with solving online, and I was clearly rusty. Favorites were Quadruple (Really satisfying solve) and Thermo 9x9's. I got stuck for long periods on the Quadruple and Diagonal, and before I knew it, completing the test was beyond me. I like the difficulty level, and the introduction of an extra variant.
