The type of puzzle is "Hitori". Other names include Let Me Alone and Hitorinishitekure (sometimes Hitori ni shite kure). The object is to eliminate numbers by filling in the squares such that remaining cells do not contain numbers that appear more than once in either a given row or column. Filled-in cells cannot be horizontally or vertically adjacent, although they can be diagonally adjacent. The remaining un-filled cells must not be isolated from the rest of the grid by filled-in cells either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

Meat wins for being the first to identify the puzzle and explain its rules. 
SydneyHeart wins for being the first to solve the puzzle.
