Puzzlerium Tour: Containers

  




Edit:  '1' was placed one cell off in the original version leaving the puzzle unsolvable 

Rules: Subdivide the grid along the borders into non-overlapping rectangular (but, not squares) regions, with each rectangle enclosing none, one, or more given numbers. No two rectangles of the same area can share an edge with each other. 

- Each rectangular region contains a square whose side is equal to the shorter side of the containing rectangle, and which can be positioned in a unique slot somewhere along the length of the rectangle. Squares may be as small as 1x1.

- Squares do not touch each other, except at a point.

- Given numbers either represent the area of a rectangle or a square occupying that cell. 

- All cells not belonging to squares form a single group of orthogonally connected cells.
