Little Tacy wants to pass a note to her sister Laura, but the note has to cross the entire one-room schoolhouse to reach her. The students don't all get along, so the note may have to take a circuitous route!

Controls:

• Pass the note to adjacent students using the arrow keys/WASD
• Hold shift to toss the note two spaces away

Make sure a note-passer only sends the note on to someone with at least two qualities in common with them - if the receiver is too different, they won't cooperate and pass on the note!

These are the qualities that matter:

• Gender
• Clothing color
• Age, which is also reflected in where they sit. The youngest kids sit in the front, the oldest in the back, and the both middle rows are in-between.

It'll be tricky to find a route from Tacy in the bottom left to Laura in the top right, but there is one!
