The Rules

1. Normal sudoku rules apply.
2. [Activated Cell] An activated cell is the xth cell in from the outside of every row and column from both directions, where x is the first cell seen in the row or column from that direction.
   • In the row 314592876 the 4 is activated by the 3 and the 5 is activated by the 6.
   • In the row 239417568, only the 3 is activated.

     

   • Notice the first picture is the two rows described above, the second is a possible complete grid, with the active cells shaded from all four directions.
   • Hint: I recommend shading cells that must be inactive one color, cells that must be activated a different color temporarily and cells you've determined ARE activated a different color.
3. [Japanese Sums] Numbers on the outside of the grid are the sums of contiguous regions of active cells in a row or column, in order. Multiple regions must be separated by an inactive cell. The ? ? represent two different regions, whose sums are not given.
