I still don't get how are they two islands. As long as I have understood,
diagonals abridge the two islands into one. In this case, these two islands
are connected so they form one single island?

1 1 0 0
1 1 0 0
0 0 1 1

This can be either one single island. Or they are three island if a change
in direction makes a whole new island.

Can anyone please clear me the problem?
