Puzzlerium Tour: Plurality




Edit: Updated version with fixes 

Rules: Shade some cells such that all unshaded cells are connected in a single group. Clue cells cannot be shaded. Each group of connected shaded cells must form a rectangle (or a square). Clue cells must be adjacent to one or more shaded cells. Given numbers represent the sum of sizes of all of the rectangles/squares adjacent to it. 

About: Plurality is an extension of the Nikoli puzzle "Tasquare".

  1. Hm. I'm reading the rules as "Tasquare + shaded regions can also be rectangular".
    If that's correct, how is the upper left corner supposed to work without cutting of the (2,3) clue from the rest of the unshaded cells?

  2. Right. That aside, I found it needed a few more fixes.
