Dots

9 dots.

Connect all 9 dots with 4 straight lines, going through each dot once and only once, and without the pen leaving the page (the lines are connected). The lines must be thinner than the width of a dot

.

If you know the answer, don't post it to early, let people have a go, and the answer isn't posted on my photobucket account this time! lol.

Meh, I can do it in one.

One straight line, thats impressive

Skeeter · 20 Oct 2009 at 21:27

1 line isnt 4 lines though. The question asks for 4 lines. But I have amended the question to clarify

But you extended the canvas/page....

<pedantic>

But your original page wasn't that big and as such you cannot use that solution.

</pedantic>

At no point did the question specify the solution had to be within the limits of the picture...

'without leaving the page' was there to indicate all the lines must be connected, not that it must be within the limits of the picture, and you know it

The whole 'moral' of the puzzle is to 'think outside the box'.

My match one is much better, but I fluffed it up for myself!
