I've been working on it for a few days now... I got nothen'...
What we have is 3 circles on the top and 3 squares on the bottom

Say the top row is 1 2 3
Then bottom is X Y Z

What we need to do is connect
1 with x,y,z
2 with x,y,z
3 with x,y,z


In this case we can't connect 3 with Y

I've tried everything but you can't overlap your lines. So every time you try it you will come up with everything connected but 1 short. any advise? the instructer said there is an answer for this... I can't find it, anybody? thanks, Shane

 

Holy cow dude. I'm studying this one hard. I totally want to help you out!

 

I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT *RUNS AROUND HOUSE*

I'LL POST PIC IN A SEC

 

 

You didn't get it.

 

Run the line from the 3 block thru the Z block and out again to the Y block. The only way is to cut thru the block without crossing the lines from 1,2

 

I think your instructor lies !

 

you need to connect 1 and y
you connected 1 and Z twice right?

 

He's got the right principle. You'll have to run some in and some out. errr., something like that........

 

ok, I got it, I think .... errrr..... a sec.....

 

ehem *cough* never mind

 

well, here it is, .5 gallon tea, .5bag of jerkey, and a steak later and................nothing it is impossiable. You always trap one box away from one circle.

 

oops i messd it up a tad bit, lemme fix it. i know i got it correct.

 

freaking crap! no i didnt! geez.

 

I thought this puzzle sounded familiar, only it was three houses and the Water, Gas and Electric companies had to get the 3 services to each house with out crossing the lines.

I cannot be solved; somebody at this link below has a mathematical solution why it will not work.
