- Row 1: 41 + 26 + 14 + 24 + 13 + 23 = 141 → Missing: 141 - (41+26+14+24+13) = 23 (already given) → Correct.
- Row 2: 41 + 50 + 43 + 41 + 46 + 10 = 231 → Missing: 231 - (41+50+43+41+46) = 10 → Fill 10.
- Row 3: 35 + 5 + 41 + 29 + 30 + 5 = 145 → Missing: 145 - (35+5+41+29+30) = 5 → Fill 5.
- Row 4: 40 + 43 + 8 + 15 + 21 + 31 = 158 → Missing: 158 - (40+43+8+15+21) = 31 → Fill 31.
- Row 5: 18 + 26 + 3 + 42 + 32 + 28 = 149 → Missing: 149 - (18+26+3+42+32) = 28 → Fill 28.
- Row 6: 11 + 5 + 36 + 35 + 29 + 18 = 134 → Missing: 134 - (11+5+36+35+29) = 18 → Fill 18.
- Row 7: 45 + 28 + 29 + 34 = 136 → Missing: 136 - (45+28+29) = 34 → Fill 34.
- Row 8: 6 + 39 + 12 + 18 + 14 + 14 = 103 → Missing: 103 - (6+39+12+18+14) = 14 → Fill 14.
Column totals:
- Col 1: 41+41+35+40+18+11+45+6 = 252 → Correct.
- Col 2: 26+50+5+43+26+5+28+39 = 201 → Correct.
- Col 3: 14+43+41+8+3+36+29+12 = 186 → But given total is 184 → Error in problem or misread. Recalculate: 14+43=57, +41=98, +8=106, +3=109, +36=145, +29=174, +12=186 → Should be 186, not 184. Assume typo; use 186 for consistency.
- Col 4: 24+41+29+15+42+35+34+18 = 238 → Given 217 → Mismatch. Recalculate: 24+41=65, +29=94, +15=109, +42=151, +35=186, +34=220, +18=238 → Should be 238, not 217. Another typo.
- Col 5: 13+46+30+21+32+29+12+14 = 197 → Given 208 → Mismatch. Recalculate: 13+46=59, +30=89, +21=110, +32=142, +29=171, +12=183, +14=197 → Should be 197, not 208.
- Col 6: 23+10+5+31+28+18+34+14 = 163 → Given 196 → Mismatch. Recalculate: 23+10=33, +5=38, +31=69, +28=97, +18=115, +34=149, +14=163 → Should be 163, not 196.
Given the inconsistencies, it appears there are errors in the provided column totals. However, based on row sums and standard puzzle logic, the missing values to fill are:
- Row 2, Col 6: 10
- Row 3, Col 6: 5
- Row 4, Col 6: 31
- Row 5, Col 6: 28
- Row 6, Col 6: 18
- Row 7, Col 4: 34
- Row 8, Col 6: 14
These complete the rows correctly. The column totals seem to have printing errors.
