This is a Nurikabe puzzle, with a twist. It is not allowed to have five consecutive black cells in a row or column. The usual Nurikabe restriction that there can be no two by two squares of black cells is waived and no longer applies.

Around the time of this posting, LMI is no longer accepting score submissions for the contest. Below is a link to the puzzle booklet, the same as the one on LMI without the password. There is also a PDF that has all of the puzzles on the test together with their solutions (don’t open if you don’t want to see them yet!), as well as some brief comments from myself about the puzzles. Mostly I pointed out the tricky innovative logic the puzzle had, if any — and for the adults there almost always was some.
This is a Line Nurikabe puzzle.

This is a Saturday Nurikabe puzzle, with a twist. The rule that there may be no two by two square of black cells is lifted. In its place is the rule that you may not have five consecutive black cells in a row or column. (Equivalently, the original rule stated that you could not overlay a square tetromino on the black cells, and the new rule states that you cannot overlay an I pentomino on the black cells.)
