Rules: Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 block. Additionally, shade some cells such that the clues outside the grid indicate the sums of the digits in contiguous blocks of white cells in the respective row or column. Every question mark represents a number (1-45). Blocks have to be separated by at least one shaded cell.

This is one of those puzzles where you know a lot of time was spent fine tuning what clues to add and what to leave out. Nothing is extra and nothing is lacking. Nice Nice work Genomico.
Reply: Thank you very much :) It was indeed a lot of finetuning, because you don't want additional clues to disturb the intended solving path, but that makes constructing this kind of puzzles so nice.
