Session 1: Week 3
When Nikoli.com was a thing, one of my favourite types was Shikaku. It is very difficult to write a hard Shikaku due to its being fully clued. Authors have experimented with humungous grid sizes or using question marks (for unclued circles) or Knapp Daneben to some success in making Shikaku harder. Then along came Recto. I’m not certain about Recto’s exact origin but my early memories of it were from the Hausigel series. Roland Voigt –well, I guess German authors in general- makes hard puzzles. You might be able to count your way out of Recto but if the grid is bigger than, say 8×8, then god bless.
For this week, we have 2 Rectos.
Enjoy!
Puzzle 3: Recto (22+36 points) Divide the grid into rectangles (including squares) so that each region contains one number. The number will represent the sum of the length and the height of that region. Regions may not overlap and all cells must be used. 
Answer Keys: For each row, enter the size of each contiguous horizontal segments of the regions. The third row of the example would be 122.
