1. The value in each white box equals the sum of its adjoining half-height boxes
2. The shaded boxes include all numbers from -8 to 8 (for small puzzles) or -16 through 16 (for large puzzles), except 0.
3. No duplicate numbers may exist among the white boxes, or among the shaded boxes, but duplicate numbers may exist between the white and shaded boxes.
