 NONOGRAM PUZZLE

You can solve Nonograms if you have spare time. It will NOT be graded or assessed.

The rules are simple. Your aim in these puzzles is to color the whole grid in to black and white squares
or mark with X. Beside each row of the grid are listed the lengths of the runs of black squares on that
row. Above each column are listed the lengths of the runs of black squares in that column. These
numbers tell you the runs of black squares in that row/column. So, if you see '10 1', that tells you that
there will be a run of exactly 10 black squares, followed by one or more white square, followed by a
single black square. There may be more white squares before/after this sequence.
