Magic Square 30

Constructor's Note
This is my first magic square puzzle (revised after a typo in the grid on the initial release). Each cell contains a number from 0 to 15. Enter 10-15 using the rebus function. Entries for each row, column, and the four 2x2 squares will add to 30. The clues give two or three digit answers which fit in the corresponding two cells. For example an answer of 115 could either fit in the two cells as 1-15 or 11-5. Cells without clues can be solved for using the sums to 30 rule. Please let me know if you enjoy this format. Future versions may use non-consecutive numbers and an unspecified total to be used as a meta answer. Good luck!
Thanks goes to either heron or kurtalert (my memory fails me as I quickly deleted it, but they both have a keen editorial eye) for quickly catching the mistake in my initial release (I’d reused a number inadvertently in building the magic square).

Checking for previous play data...
In bases greater than 10, A=10, B=11, C=12 and so on. Could make for a fun base-36 puzzles since all letters and numbers are used.
