0727 Corral RS 12-03-15
Paint a single connected set of cells (the corral) so that it does not touch itself, not even diagonally, does not surround any white areas and does not contain any 2×2 painted area. Numbers outside the grid indicate the sizes of consecutive painted blocks in that row/column. Numbers are given in increasing order and not in the order the blocks appear. There must be at least one white cell between any consecutive blocks.
