Puzzle Rules:

Using simple addition, complete the puzzle by filling in each blank cell, based on the sum of the half-sized cells beside it.

The darker cells on the edges must contain every number from -16 to 16 (or for smaller puzzles -8 to 8), except 0, with each number appearing only once.

Leave no duplicate numbers in the light-colored cells, or in the darker cells.

There is one unique solution.

(Up to four difficulty levels are available for reprint)
