Quite a fun solve, especially considering how perfect the arrangement of givens is.
I am again compelled to mention how attractive are the aesthetics of the puzzles I’m solving. In addition to beautiful design and thermometer selection, Serkan brings back memories of other invocations of pi from the past. We used to attend My Pi pizza restaurant in Texas, and on this historical site you can find their famous matchbook cover from around 1980 (in Minnesota): http://slphistory.org/wayzatabuildingsnorth/
Other restaurateurs have followed suit.
Great puzzle, and I can’t quite believe that it actually works with this much theming contstraints and no extra clues. Amazing construction!
