Rules: Divide the grid into rectangles that do not overlap.Each rectangle contains exactly one number which equals the area of the rectangle.Unnumbered dots do not contribute to the calculation of areas.
Solves nicely, but the notation's confusing. I ran into a contradiction early and was about to say you had miscounted the areas (forgetting to count the similar-looking clue space), but it turned out that's what I'd done.
You have a choice. Either take the black circles away from the numbers, or reduce every clue by 1 and exclude the clue spaces from the counts.
(On an unrelated note, OpenID is giving me a hard time. Couldn't submit for hours last night.)
