So tomorrow I am going to try to buy glasses. I need advice, this is my first time shopping for glasses. Any tips?

Oh, so, uh, I made a Meez.



It was fun.

I made a separate account to make a Link Meez. You'll have to excuse his lifeguard shorts. That was the best I could do. They had no hat like his, unfortunately.

I learned how to play another puzzle on Nikoli.com called "heyawake". It's not "hey awake", it's a Japanese word that's pronounced more like "heya-WAH-keh", I think. "Heya" means "room" and "wake" means divide.

Once again, I want to make an interactive tutorial for this puzzle and an engine so it can be played on a web page (and a solver, eventually, I hope). Let's see if I can give you the basic rules:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
The grid is divided up into rectangular "rooms". The rooms can be any width and height. Some rooms have a number inside; that indicates how many black squares should be filled in inside of it. If a room says "2", that means there should be two black squares filled in somewhere in that room.

You can't have black squares next to each other, but you can have them diagonally, so once you place a black square, you have to mark each side with a white circle, so you know not to color those places in.

You cannot block off areas of white squares with black squares. Any white square can be reached by following the "path" of white squares around the grid. There is no restriction to how tall or wide the area of white squares can be.

The only restriction on white squares is that you can't have a line of white squares that extends beyond two rooms. There must be a black square blocking the path of the white squares if they will span three rooms.



That's about it. You can play some free heyawake puzzles here. Click "Rules" at the top for their Flash tutorial, but be warned that it's poorly translated from Japanese.
