Normal sudoku rules apply. Shade some cells to help you solve this puzzle!
Japanese Sum Sudoku Rules: 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.
SOME column/row clues were changed to represent the UNshaded cells instead of the shaded ones!
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.
There are 2 magic squares hidden in this puzzle -- and one is entirely in the unshaded region! The other contains BOTH regions.

Solution code: Column 5 and Row 4

These impostors are great. This one got me stuck for a while, but I got them in the end. Fun solve. :)

Sure enjoy these picture puzzle Japanese sum sudoku puzzles. Great mix of ideas and I thought the imposter rule was going to be much more difficult and I was pleased to find it wasn’t as bad as I feared. If you’re nervous about trying this, go for it! You can do it.
