NEW PUZZLE CRAZE STARTS HERE

Hitoshii puzzles are a fun mix of su-doku solving skills and simple maths. If you like solving su-dokus can add, subtract, multiply and divide you'll love our new puzzle magazine and book.

How to solve: In the puzzle below the numbers 1-6 have to appear in each row and column. Contained within the bold lines is the result of the sum shown to the right of the total. Therefore 11+, for example, can only be 5+6.
