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.

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!

Got it in the end with a chain. Took me ages.

Orphanless solution needs three 'illegal dual solution' tricks ...
11D is 1,3,7 because a square of 1,2 in 11D and 9D would be dual-solution illegal.
Eliminations solve the lower 30A and then the structure of 24D.
O=4 else illegal multi-solution triplet formed within 24D, 11D and 9D.
Upper 11D can't contain a 3, same reason.
Everything now falls into place.
