Freddie Hand

Solving today's puzzle is, unlike playing Rush E 2, something within the realm of human possibility. It's a Yajirushi 2!

I'm sure some people have tried to play versions of it adapted for 2 hands. No offence, but they're probably mediocre.

(My version is still in progress)

Rules: Place arrows in some of the empty cells such that the remaining empty cells form an orthogonally connected area. Two arrows which point toward each other form a pair. All arrows must be paired. Paired arrows must not be in adjacent cells, and all cells between a pair of arrows must be empty (in particular, arrows cannot point through shaded cells). Numbers indicate how many orthogonally adjacent cells contain an arrow.

Notation Tip: If you're on PC or a laptop, you can notate circles (indicating a cell must contain an arrow) by pressing Q/A/Z and notate a dot (indicating a cell must be empty) by pressing W/S/X.
