Weekly Puzzle Creation Theme

New! The weekly theme is to help generate creative ideas for puzzle creators.

This is a followup to the weekly puzzle contests that we used to do on the site. There are no winners or losers: this is a way to generate puzzle ideas and see what creative puzzles people come up with. Each week a theme is announced in forum topic #112. and there is a question and answer in forum topic #122. If you'd like to post a puzzle for the contest, keep the following in mind:

To identify the puzzle as a weekly challenge entry, the title should include something like "WCP #180" to indicate that it is an weekly challenge puzzle for challenge number 180.
Puzzles should have no more than 80 rows and columns. So the puzzle could be 40x40, 45x35, or 60x20, so long as the number of rows and columns do not add to more than 80. Smaller puzzles are always welcome.
Puzzles should be logically solvable, not too difficult, and should have unique solutions.
Thanks for joining in the fun!
