Heyawake Fences
Heyawake Fences:
This is a variation of Nikoli's Heyawake puzzle where numbered squares indicate how many edges of the square border a colored square (unlike normal Heyawake, where a number would only occur in the upper left corner of a box and indicate how many black squares were within the box).
The colored squares follow the rules of Heyawake: at no point in the puzzle can a single file of adjacent blank squares span more than two boxes and all the white squares (the water) must be connected orthogonally.
Any feedback is welcome. (In particular, I'd be curious if anyone has seen this variation before.)
Incidentally, going forward, I'll be using site.google.com to store puzzle images. Too many problems with my band's domain (and its ultra-flaky provider www.hostonce.com).
