New Challenge of The Week

This may seem an impossible challenge, but I encourage you to try until you succeed  :D

Draw 9 points distributed through 3 rows and 3 columns:


Will you manage to join those 9 dots using just 4 straight lines without removing the pen from the paper?

Once you've come up with the solution, post a comment to this entry and e-mail an image file to my e-mail address showing your achievement ;)

Let's play a tune from the classic Phantom of the Opera Musical. If you ever have the chance to travel either to New York City or London, you should'nt miss the chance of this thrilling experience :D

  6. Wow, "compulsory", are you reading Shakespeare? :P

    It's not mandatory to use 4 straight lines... but if you manage to sort the challenge use using less, maybe you'll change maths as we the mathematicians understand it XD

    REMEMBER: Do not enlarge the dot's thickness XD
