All aboard the GAPP train! 🚋 After having visited Bosnia, our next stop is Slovakia 🇸🇰, a country known for its beautiful scenery and castles 🏰. But we discover that the evil Dr. Subtraction has seized control of Bratislava and is on the verge of destroying it! Can you add your way through this Slovak Sums puzzle to save the city?

Rules: Place numbers from the range given outside the grid into some empty cells so that each row and column contains each number once (not counting clued cells). A clue contains a number, which represents the sum of the numbers in orthogonally adjacent unclued cells, and some quantity of circles, which represents how many of the orthogonally adjacent unclued cells contain a number.

Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving the puzzle in 8:00 or less!
And all solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with a Slovak Shikra 🐦

Note: As in the example solution, it is recommended to use green to mark cells which must contain a number, and grey to mark cells which must not contain a number. You can use 'tab' to switch between the two modes efficiently.
