High Road/Low Road
Build a support for two Coaster Tracks side-by-side. One Coaster Track (the “High Road”) has a constant gradual
slope from start to finish. The other Coaster Track (the “Low Road”) has a steep drop near the start and an equally
steep rise near the end. If two Mini Cars start together on the two “roads”, which car finishes first?
