The Gondola doors gently opened at the summit of the Schilthorn in the Swiss Alps. The Koala immediately exited the car to get away from the foul order emitted from the baby's diaper. Koala's have very sensitive noses. After several steps into the clean fresh air he realized that his guitar was still on the gondola. He raced back onto the car to find the stinky baby sitting upon his beloved musical instrument! The remainder of his trek across Europe his guitar reeked of baby excrement.

Shikaku is played on a rectangular grid. Some of the squares in the grid are numbered. The objective is to divide the grid into rectangular and square pieces such that each piece contains exactly one number, and that number represents the area of the rectangle.
Hashiwokakero - Bridge Logic
Hashiwokakero is played on a rectangular grid with no standard size, although the grid itself is not usually drawn. Some cells start out with (usually encircled) numbers from 1 to 8 inclusive; these are the "islands". The rest of the cells are empty.
The goal is to connect all of the islands by drawing a series of bridges between the islands. The bridges must follow certain criteria:[2]
They must begin and end at distinct islands, traveling a straight line in between.
They must not cross any other bridges or islands.
They may only run orthogonally (i.e. they may not run diagonally).
At most two bridges connect a pair of islands.
The number of bridges connected to each island must match the number on that island.
The bridges must connect the islands into a single connected group.
