These Killer Sudoku puzzles have had the outlines of their cages removed, but the original rules apply, so that each row, column and 3x3 block should contain the digits 1-9. The sum of the digits for each missing cage is located, as usual, in the leftmost cell of the top row of that cage. No digit can be repeated within a cage, and there are no single cell cages.

The lines must be filled in with numbers whichadd up to the total in the shaded box at the top or beginning of each line. A number in the bottom half of the shaded box gives a downwardstotal; in the top half, it’s a horizontal total.

To complete the puzzle, every row and column must not contain the same digit twice. You’ll notice in the example given here that there are repeated numbers, so it’s your job to shade out just enough numbers to satisfy the master rule.
Complete the Myriad grid so that all the rows and columns, and all squares of the same colour, contain the numbers 1 to 7.
