Rook

Slovak
Sums

Evil Rook has split today's genre name into 2 pieces. Evil Rook has also split today's puzzle into 2 separate kinds of clues.
Good Rook has given those disjointed clues a friend. Good Rook has included a GAPP 101 at the end of this post if you get stuck!

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). Number clues represent the sum of the numbers in orthogonally adjacent unclued cells. Clues with circles represent how many of the orthogonally adjacent unclued cells contain a number.

GAPP 101: Use the O and X notation to indicate cells you know must contain numbers and cells you know don't! After that, lookout for restricted rows and columns that have only 4 open spots left to fill!
