#72 - Chocolate Banana

  It feels challenging to construct a balanced puzzle in this genre. I wanted a break-in without using trivial clues and a solve that didn't fall apart right afterwards, while maintaining a double clues theme all the way around the edge. The puzzle went through a lot of iterations, but ultimately I think it came out quite nice. Fun fact - many different values work in the center to give the puzzle a unique solution. I also like how 9 resolves, but felt the 5 was more suitable.

Difficulty: 3/5

(rules from Puzzle Rules)
Shade some cells so that all areas of orthogonally connected shaded cells are rectangular and all areas of orthogonally connected unshaded cells are not rectangular. A clue represents the size of its group of shaded/unshaded cells.
