 To those who know, I'm very sorry. It's nearly 2AM here and I don't have full control over my mind. To those who don't know. Guess how long I spent making today's puzzles? Wrong. I made today's puzzles starting from 9 or 10 P.M. last night so I think about 4 hours? Online Play Link Rules of Shugaku (School Trip) (Translated from  this site ): 1. Place numerous 1 by 2 blocks (futons) onto the board (vertically or horizontally). In addition, put a □ (pillow) in one of the squares for each futons. If the futon is placed vertically, the pillow must not be on the upper half (north-facing pillows are considered bad luck). 2. Futons cannot be laid on the circles (pillars). 3. If there's a number in the pillar, it indicates how many  pillows  are adjacent to its 4 sides. 4. All squares that are not covered with either futons or pillars are considered aisles.

 And here's another puzzle. Why not. (Note: All Country Road on this blog, unless specified, goes through every room exactly once ) Online Play Link Country Road Rule (Roughly translated from Nikoli ): Make a single loop with lines passing through the centers of cells, horizontally or vertically. The loop never crosses itself, branches off, or goes through the same cell twice. A region, bordered by bold lines, is called a "room". The loop goes through each room exactly once . Once the loop leaves a room, it cannot return to the same room. The number in a room represents how many cells does the loop passes through in that room. For rooms without numbers, the loop can pass through any number of squares. Squares that are not visited by the loop must not be vertically or horizontally adjacent to each other across a thick line.

 What can I say, I like this genre. Online Play Link Shakashaka rule (from  Nikoli ): Place black triangles in the grid under the following rules. There are four kinds of black triangles you can put in the squares: You cannot place black triangles in the black squares. The parts of the grid that remain white (uncovered by black triangles) always form a rectangle or a square. The numbers indicate how many black triangles are around it, vertically and horizontally.
