Grid Shading Puzzle

Something to while away a few hours.

Grid Shading Puzzle


I tried to post the image but it's too big and reducing it makes it illegible but it's easy enough to download onto your own computer to print off.

I thought the numbers on the outside must be a code for the letters in the words of a crossword puzzle but its just a black and white thing - no letters. Maybe it makes a picture.

Thanks for the piccy, but your eyesight (or screen res) must be better than mine as I can't read the numbers.

If you'd read the page then you'ld have found the instructions:
Each square is either black or white. Some of the black squares have already been filled in for you.

Each row or column is labelled with a string of numbers. The numbers indicate the length of all consecutive runs of black squares and are displayed in the order that the runs appear in that line. For example, a label "2 1 6" indicates sets of two, one and six black squares, each of which will have at least one white square separating them

Complete the grid with a black pen
Actually I used a pencil, rubbing out the mistakes is easier than printing a new sheet off.
