How to Play Killer Sudoku 1,027

Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 to 9. This is the classic rule for all sudoku puzzles. Killer sudoku adds additional constraints: numbers within a dashed cage must sum to the small number given in the top-left corner of that cage, and no number can repeat within a cage.
