Rules -- Totally Awesum

This puzzle, also known as Kakuro, is often thought of as a Japanese puzzle craze; however, the puzzle was actually invented by Dell Magazines (under the name Cross Sums), an American company, and was adopted by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli later.

1. Place a digit from 1 through 9 inclusive in each white cell of the grid.
2. A horizontal or vertical group of consecutive white cells, bounded on both sides by black cells or the edge of the grid, is called an entry. A number in a black cell above a diagonal line represents the sum of the digits in the horizontal entry to its right. A number in a black cell below a diagonal line represents the sum of the digits in the vertical entry below it.
3. No digit may be repeated within an entry.
