Ponder This Challenge - February 2015 - Kakuro - hard version

Ponder This Challenge:

In continuation of last month's challenge: Find a uniquely solvable Kakuro, where for every square X and every two definitions there is a different value for those two definitions that gives at least one solution that differs from the original solution, for at least the square X.

Please supply the answer in the same format as last month's challenge.

Note that a solution for January's challenge does not necessarily solve this month's puzzle.

For example:

3 A1 A2
4 B1 B2
3 A1 B1
4 A2 B2

is not a valid solution, because when we ignore the first and last definitions, we still have only one possible value for B1: 1.

Update (02/08): Bonus '*' for a non rectangular Kakuro.

We will post the names of those who submit a correct, original solution! If you don't want your name posted then please include such a statement in your submission!

We invite visitors to our website to submit an elegant solution. Send your submission to the ponder@il.ibm.com.

If you have any problems you think we might enjoy, please send them in. All replies should be sent to: ponder@il.ibm.com

  Here's an example of a simple solution for this month's challenge:

  6 A1 A2
  12 B1 B2
