I made these puzzles to demonstrate how "penalty theory" in Heyawake can be applied locally. The first can be solved with standard deductions somewhat painfully, so to fix that I made the second one, which definitely requires penalty theory to be solved by a human (and is quite an interesting design in its own right).
