If we shade a subset of the cells in the above grid, we partition the
cells into orthogonally connected regions of shaded and unshaded
cells. The goal of this puzzle is to shade the cells so that
all regions of shaded cells are rectangular,
all regions of unshaded cells are not rectangular, and
all number clues in the grid give the size of the region (shaded or
unshaded) that the clue is in.
The answer to this puzzle is the product of the number of unshaded
cells in each row.
Below the grid is a smaller example puzzle with solution and answer
extraction.
