We've had double back, triple back and entry exit (single back). You may be disappointed to hear that I so not have a quadruple back for you today. But given that this is the second time a double back has appeared, that would make it a double back double back, and 2*2=4. So with impeccable reasoning I have proved that this is actually a quadruple back. □

Today's puzzle is a Double Back!

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting, non-branching loop through the centers of all cells which passes through each region exactly twice.
