Last time I wrote in my intro that it's becoming harder to only cover genres that we haven't covered before. Many of you said it should be fine to repeat genres, so today I'm following your advice! No, I'm not posting this puzzle only because I didn't realise we already covered it until Eric pointed it out to me in the testing channel and the only other puzzle I managed to set afterwards was deemed too hard for GAPP, what are you talking about?

Today's GAPP is a Sandwich!

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and divide the remaining unshaded cells into three-cell regions. Each region must contain exactly one numbered cell, which indicates how many shaded cells the region is orthogonally adjacent to.

Feel free to also check out the first time this genre was covered, by Eric: Archive: Sunday, 9 October 2022

⚠️ Penpa note: The input modes Surface (for shading) and Composite -> edgesub (for drawing edges) are preselected. Use tab or the buttons at the top to toggle between them. Answer check requires all shaded cells to be shaded using grey or black in Surface mode and all edges (except those on the grid edge, but including those around shaded cells) to be drawn.

💯 GAPP 101: Regions without clues aren't allowed! If you're having trouble seeing how to progress, see if you have any unshaded cells that can only join up with one number clue.
