It's A Jigsaw. But You Don't Know The Shapes Of The Pieces...
860** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
On Saturdays we've taken to trying a non-sudoku puzzle and we continue that theme tonight by looking at Skeptical Mario's A Fistful Of Circles - a gorgeous hybrid of fillomino and "circle" logic.
Don't be fooled into thinking this is incredibly easy - we thought it was VERY clever indeed!
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Divide the grid into non-overlapping regions. Regions can be any size (including one cell) but the cells in a region must be orthogonally connected with one another. Every cell should contain a number equal to the number of cells in its region. Regions of the same size cannot share an edge. A number in a circle indicates how many circles contain that number. (There are 41 circles in all.)\\nNote for solution checking: for regions larger than 9 cells, enter the units digit of the region size. Leave the cells with the given 15 and 26 clues empty.
