Rules:<\/b> Shade some cells black so that all unshaded number and arrow clues indicate the exact count of shaded cells in the given direction. Shaded cells cannot share an edge, and all white cells must remain connected as part of a single contiguous group.

Also, as an extra rule from standard Yajisan Kazusan, there cannot be any fully unshaded 2\u00d72 cell blocks in the grid.<\/p>\n
