Puzzle 2

Summing Grids

How to Play
	Add the digits 1 through 6 to every white column. The grey column on the right holds the sum of each row. Fill empty cells so the sums are correct and every digit from 1 to 6 appears in each white column. Keep these rules in mind: Each digit must appear exactly once in each of the white columns. The sum for each row must be correct. Numbers may repeat across rows. A single row might contain, for example, a pair of 2s or 5s—or no repeats at all.
