In this type of grid-shading puzzle, each square is either black or white. Some of the black squares have already been filled in for you. Each row or column is labelled with a string of numbers. The numbers indicate the length of all consecutive runs of black squares, and are displayed in the order that the runs appear in that line. For example, a label “2 1 6” indicates sets of two, one and six black squares, each of which will have at least one white square separating them.

That's got to be one of the hardest Su-do-kus I've ever seen.
 
They are called nonograms, or Japanese crosswords, if you like them there are lots of apps with hundreds of puzzles. Be careful, they're addictive.
