Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The circled cell contains an odd digit. Divide each grey line into at least two non-overlapping segments. The digits on each segment of a line sum to the same total. (Different lines may have different totals.) Additionally each segment individually forms a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
