Ten ships (as indicated below the grid: one four-cell ship, two three-cell ships, three two-cell ships, and four one-cell ships) are hidden in the grid. The ships may be rotated from the orientations shown (without changing the numbers), but may not overlap or occupy cells which share a corner or an edge. A number to the right of a row or below a column indicates how many cells in that row or column are occupied by ships. These ships also function as black cells in a Process of Illumination puzzle, and the numbers on some of the ship segments function as they normally would in such a puzzle. None of the black cells already present in the grid are part of the ships. Locate the ships and solve the Process of Illumination puzzle.
If none of the other puzzles on this blog can be considered "mutants", this one most definitely can be.Speaking of mutants, the day after tomorrow is my birthday! To celebrate, I will be posting more Monday Mutant-style puzzles just for the solving pleasure of you, my dear readers. Of course, since they're going to be posted on a Wednesday, I won't be able to call them Monday Mutants. Nonetheless, I believe you'll enjoy them. :)
