Japanese Sum Sudoku Rules apply: Clues outside the grid indicate the sums of the digits in shaded cells. The shaded cells must be separated by at least 1 non-shaded cell. So a 6 in a row could mean a 6 is shaded, or a 24 pair is shaded, or a 123 triple is shaded. A 10/3 across the top means there is a 10 group followed by a 3 group going down the column.
The white dots mean that the difference of the two connected cells is 1. There is no negative constraint.
If you color the grid correctly, you will see the red herring .
Solution code: Column 9
