Today's puzzle is, more than anything, a test of whether you've been saying Kakuro correctly, or if you've been saying Kakuru all along. Oh, and also this is the grand inauguration of Mathsy Mondays Don't worry, this will not be happening. The GAS folk have us covered already!

Rules: Place a number from 1 to 9 into each empty cell. Placed numbers of the same value may not touch one another, not even diagonally. A clue represents the sum of the (up to) eight placed numbers surrounding it, which also may not contain repeats. (Note that the cells surrounding an unnumbered black cell may contain repeats)
