Rules:
Each region has exactly one shaded “block” consisting of orthogonally connected cells inside the region.
Numbers represent the amount of cells that are the same type (shaded or unshaded) in its region, including itself.
All shaded cells are connected to each other orthogonally.
Unshaded cells are either a group of 1 or are orthogonally connected to all unshaded cells that aren’t.
There are an equal amount of shaded cells and unshaded cells.

Solution code: Amount of shaded cells in each column, starting with Column 1 and going right to Column 6

Can't figure it out after the first few steps.
Edit: okay figured it out by reverse engineering. So "a group of 1" can be any number (not just a 1!). Just a single unshaded cell.
And shaded cells connect orthogonally across all regions.
Some examples would be nice to clarify this for tohers.

Interesting puzzle. I can see it having a lot of potential. looking forward to the others
