Normal Japanese Sums rules apply. Clues outside the grid indicate the sums of runs of contiguous cells that must be shaded. The shaded runs must be separated by at least 1 non-shaded cell.
The imposter has messed up this Japanese Sums Sudoku!
The imposter changed SOME column/row clues to represent the runs of UNshaded cells instead of the shaded ones! And he even erased one of the clues! All I remember is that there are less shaded cells than unshaded. Can you still solve this puzzle??
Note: a row or column clue will only give you a clue about one type of cell: shaded or unshaded. There are no mixed clues within a column or row.

Solution code: Row 4 then column 4

Thanks to TheAsylm for a slight adjustment to the English rules. (Doesn't change the puzzle) .

Very creative variant on the Japanese Sums concept! Had fun solving it on stream :)

Was wondering where to start - and then I got lucky and found the entry immediatly. Good thing the impostor wasn't too mean this time around. ;-)
Oh, and I got a good laugh out of that Atomium suggestion. :D
I tried but someone told me it wasn't recognizable enough :( Oh well. Feel free to contact me through the CTC discord (Panthera) if you want to see what I tried making for the Atomium.

Just recently found this variant and I'm quite enjoying it. Love the break in, and great flow between discovering true and 'sus' clues after that. Thanks for the great puzzle!
Thank you so much!! :)

The Brussels Atomium might be a tricky request. :-)
I think I can do it. I'll add it to my list :D

Nice puzzle! Hope the next one :v
I have plenty more of these -- I'll even take requests for pictures :)
