Twin Paths

Two roads, one in each half of the page, travelled at the same time by both hands: a finger of each hand, or a pencil in each. Mirror roads move the hands in mirror image, which is where to begin. Parallel roads send both hands the same way at once, different roads give each hand its own shape to make, and opposite roads send one hand down while the other comes up. A hand at the start of each road says which hand goes there, arrows show the way, and the roads stay well apart so two hands fit. Difficulty sets how wide the roads are and how much they wind; pencil roads are narrower than finger roads, to stay inside.
