Rules<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Fill in the cells under the following rules.<\/li>\n
  2. Consecutive black cells are called a “block”. The number written on a cell indicates the number of black cells that make up the “block” containing that cell.<\/li>\n
  3. If there is a cell with a “?”, you do not know the number of black cells that make up the block containing that cell.<\/li>\n
  4. Every block must contain one number or one “?”.<\/li>\n
  5. When two or more blocks are in contact at a corner it is called a “chain”. All blocks must be part of a chain.<\/li>\n
  6. A chain cannot contain more than one block of one size and shape. Blocks are considered to have the same shape even if a block matches the rotated or mirror image of another block in a chain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
