Puzzle No 170: Double Statue Park Twilight

This Puzzle was created during the speed setting contest over Cracking The Cryptic discord server within a time limit of 60 min. The contest was "Statues in the Twilight Zone".

The goal was to create a Statue Park puzzle with an added Twilight twist (Rules explained below).

Edit 22nd August 9 PM ET: Simplified the Rules.

Rules:

Statue Park Rules (Uses 2 Full Pentomino Sets):

A bank of shapes is given with the grid, usually with each shape labeled for your convenience. Place each of the shapes exactly once into the grid, with rotations and reflections allowed. No two shapes can overlap or be orthogonally adjacent, and all of the space not occupied by shapes must be connected. Black circles in the grid represent spaces that must be contained in one of the shapes, and white circles represent spaces that may not be contained in a shape.

Additionally, The number clues act as minesweeper clues (i.e. clues addressing the neighboring 8 cells) i.e. if there is a number in a white circle it gives the number of black circles around it.

Theme: Double Pentomino Set

    1. I have updated the rules and simplified it. Please let me know if it's still unclear.

  2. There really are no more given black circles than what the picture shows. So, if you replace that very last part with "number of cells around it used by shapes", that would sound better.
