Today's Strange-Shaped Sunday is a Ququ, a genre that has strangely-shaped cells and strange, shaded shapes. Surely she should shirk the short strip of strange pseudo-alliteration so she can simply share the puzzle!

Rules: Shade some cells to form edge-adjacent groups of shaded cells called blocks. No two corner-adjacent blocks may have the same shape (counting rotated and reflected shapes as the same). Numbers must not be shaded, and every unshaded region of edge-adjacent cells must contain exactly one number, indicating the number of cells in that region. Question marks can be any number.
