jyoticlub Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 9 dots are arranged in the form of a square Without altering the arrangement , You have to draw 4 straight lines may be equal or unequal in length so as to touch all the points atleast once. Your 2nd line would start where the first line ends and so on The diagram is like this . . . . . . . . . Though i tried many times i was not able to find the answer. Hope you all help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jyoticlub Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Can it be done by making a wider line so as to cover the whole length of points in a single line!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustStuit Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 That would kinda defie the definition of a line Good thinking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoN1020v Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I recieved a semanir at DAL (Dalhousie University in Halfiax) long time ago, and it provdied the 9-joining-dots problem. It's a good problem to show critical thinking, and the structure of the question. What I meant is, by the definition of "line". If it only said "line", then the line can be wavy, curvy, straight, whatever you think. Although, the question said "straight lines". The point is that you always have to read the questions carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
