How to play Kakuro
Kakuro is similar to both sudoku and traditional crossword games.
Like a Crossword
Similar to crosswords, Kakuro has clues both across and down. When you put numbers in the vacant squares, the sum must equal the given clues. This is why the game is sometimes called 'cross sums'.
Like a Sudoku
Just like a sudoku, you cannot have the same number in a row or column. If a row is broken into 2 areas by a clue, then you can have the same number occuring once in each of the separate areas.
Other variations

Talk about anything and everything, but nice to each other - you don't have to agree, but this is not the place for personal attacks. As Sir Paul McCartney said: 'I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird' (longer explanation). Enjoy!

+p -o also doable, some people might even (justifiably) call it a nada. Very good puzzle.

9:56 +o -p. I see now that it should have been faster (I overlooked something obvious for a long time).

With orphans, no possibilities:

1) Fill in a few obvious squares.

2) Note that 30 down must be 4/5/6/7/8, and 4 must be in bottom, which fills in a few more.

3) Not that 23 has 8 or 9 in second place, but no other 8's (or 9's).

4) Now it's all about the 8's. If More...

Willo;

In your point 2 you claim Z 'Must' = 4

Why can't H = 4 if F = 2

David, I don't have my 'solutions' saved, but I seem to remember there was a problem with 5 in either X or Z because of interaction failures with 13D, so H had to be the 5. Something like that.

David: Thanks for catching this; I did leave something out. 4 in H forces 9's in J and therefore C, hence 8 in U, hence 9 in T. So step 2 should say 'Either T=9 or 4 in Z'. Then step 4 shows 'If 4 in Z then T=9'. Taken together, T=9. I hope this is right now!
