+You are given a grid of squares, some of which are filled with train
+tracks. You need to complete the track from A to B so that the rows and
+columns contain the same number of track segments as are indicated in the
+clues to the top and right of the grid.
+
+There are only straight and 90 degree curved rails, and the track may not
+cross itself.

+Left- or right-dragging between squares allows you to lay a straight line
