Probably not to interest of many, but I like it. This puzzle has the maximum number of cells to be filled you can have in an 11 by 11 grid without having 1 cell sums.

I like it too! (I like it even more than solving the puzzle, since I'm not that fond of kakuro's). And it's not that easy to think of a configuration of 12 black squares where it would be possible to make a kakuro for, if 1 cell sums are allowed. (first I thought they didn't exist)

Yeah, it's not really easy but it's possible to create patterns which could create a valid kakuro, like the one below. You can switch around columns and rows as you please, but it will always have this basis for it.
I haven't actually tried this, because I find it kinda silly to have 1-cell sums in a kakuro.

Code:
