How to play
Each row and column carries number clues describing the runs of filled cells, and you shade the grid to reveal a hidden picture. The twist is that a few clues are false. You can't take any single hint on faith, you cross-check rows against columns to find the contradictions that expose which clues lie, then solve around them.
Use the row and column number clues to shade or rule out cells.
Cross-reference lines to catch contradictions, those reveal the false clues.
Complete the grid so every true clue is satisfied and the picture emerges.

Tips & strategy

A clue that can't be reconciled with a confirmed crossing line is your fake.
Mark known-empty cells, not just filled ones, negatives drive most of the deduction.
