Apply classic sudoku rules.
All cells containing a digit that is a divisor of the sum of all the digits orthogonally adjacent to it are shaded grey. (I.e.: A 4 that has 3,7,2,8 adjacent to it must be in a grey cell since 3+7+2+8=20 can be divided by 4; a 3 in the corner with 2 and 9 as neighbours is in a white cell since 2+9=11 cannot be divided by 3.)
