#10 - Tapa Mashup with Clones

Image
Here is a bigger puzzle to celebrate the first ten puzzles on this blog. Enjoy! Rules Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent something in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue, depending on their location in the grid: Tapa (top left): the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells. TapaQ (top right): the number  of blocks of consecutive  shaded  cells. PataQ (bottom left): the  number  of blocks of consecutive  unshaded  cells. Pata (bottom right): the  lengths  of the blocks of consecutive  unshaded  cells. In addition, the four 5x5 squares (outlined in blue) are exact clones of each other. The X in these squares cannot be shaded. Note that for Pata or PataQ clues, other clues also act as unshaded cells. Solve online
