Continuing the theme of cool-sounding names from five days ago, today's puzzle is a Nibunnogo, and it was invented only about a year ago. Just like in statue park, pentominoes are good, hexominoes and higher are bad (unless if you enjoy torturing yourself working with a shape bank of cardinality 35)

Rules: Shade some cells so that there exists no orthogonally connected area of more than five cells which is entirely shaded or unshaded. A clue represents how many of the (up to) four cells it touches are shaded.
