My grid being complete, I "did the replacements" but am flummoxed by the next bit ... "the sum of all the new grid's entries will be visible in both a row and a column"?? what sum? What entries?

Any help please?

What entries?? The entries in the grid. There are 22 numbers in the grid - add them up!

Adding the entries gives an amazing result! It also confirms which of the two possible answers for 1dn is correct. Still struggling with the hightlighting.....

yes, that's what i thought it meant, but mine don't seem to add up to anything shown in the grid! Think I'll go back and check all my answers but the "replacement bit" was exactly as in the preamble so ............. (Should they be adding uo to the central row/central column?)
I'll have another look at my clue answers and grid answers

unclued, the answer to 1dn doesn't depend on the adding up.

Unhelpful, my two answers to19Ac are 999 and 1017 giving possible grid entries of 1010 or 1019 for 1 Dn. Have I made a mistake? Still trying to figure out the highlighting.

No I agree with what you have. I remember reading on the AB thread that some peoples' totals were 9 too mnay so that would imply 1d in the grid is 1010.

Do the grid entries add to row 5/column 5?

1d has a 3 digit answer, with a 4 digit entry

I agree that 1010 is the correct answer to 1Dn. I was just saying that there could be two entries for that clue. However, when you use 1010 it rules out the other answer because the total of all the entries is incorrect. Does anyone have the highlighting?
