Hot on the heels of Sudoku comes Kakuro. Also known as Cross Sums
or Kakro in Japan, you can think of them as the mathematical
equivalent of crosswords. Like Sudoku, Kakuro has gained popularity
after being published in Britain by The Guardian beginning in
September 2005. Since then many other British papers have followed
suit and now also print daily puzzles.
A Kakuro consists of a playing area of filled and empty cells
similar to a crossword puzzle. Some black cells contain a diagonal
slash from top left to bottom right with numbers in them, called
“the clues”. A number in the top right corner relates to an
“across” clue and one in the bottom left a “down” clue.
The object of a Kakuro is to insert digits from 1-9 into the white
cells to total the clue associated with it. However no digit can be
duplicated in an entry. For example the total 6 you could have 1
& 5, 2 & 4 but not 3 & 3. Sound simple? Be warned it
gets hard and is as addictive as Sudoku.
Sorry to anyone who could not see the small numbers on the
puzzle. The fuzzy picture was not meant to be part of the puzzle. I
have made it a bit larger.
Please do not try this one if you do not feel comfortable with
math, logic, or puzzles. I gave the difficulty rating a 3 because
it is a hard puzzle and there are numerous places you can get a
headache, but if you are a puzzle, math, logic wiz it will not be
hard for you.
I solved the original puzzle in about 1 hour.
Note: Puzzle was taken from Hard Kakuro Puzzle Cache by Sask_girl
& Novy (GCVP5E) Saskatchewan so if you solve this one and go to
Saskatchewan then that one should be easy. The write up for Kakuro
was also borrowed from Geo Kakuro by stepol (GCTP6A) Virginia.
Sorry I'm such a geo-pirate but I'm lazy.
