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!
Kind of tricky for a Medium. No orphans necessary, but not straightforward.

Yes, definitely took lots more thinking than usual. I had to use a long chain of reasoning.

I spent a lot of time on this one. Wound up doing an orphan calc where the 2 numbers were =

(over 11)
calc involved H and lower orphan

4:09 hours later - this is a very good puzzle, but definitely not easy for a medium

I really don't see how you can finish after getting the 4 lower right and the 23A / 11D cells. A long chain or above-mentioned 2 orphan calc seem necessary

Ah, I coulda and maybe shoulda done what I often do - peek at the orphans and add them up ...

I'd like to hear any logic that could solve this one.

1:02 good medium. She doesn't seem sure whether she's happy or not?

I started bottom right and worked up - I don't know how to do chains...

Calculated the orphans and got lucky with picking a chain for 22A. About 5 minutes.
