Description
The challenge is to connect nine dots arranged in a 3x3 square grid using only four straight lines without lifting your pen from the paper.
The Obstacle:
Many people initially assume they need to stay within the boundaries of the imaginary square formed by the dots. However, this constraint makes the puzzle impossible to solve with only four lines.
The Solution:
The key is to extend your lines beyond the boundaries of the dots' configuration. Here's a general approach:
Start outside the box: Draw your first line diagonally from one of the outer corner dots, extending past the edge of the grid.
Sweep across: Connect a row of dots with a line that continues past the opposite edge.
Connect back: Draw a line to connect a different set of dots, possibly returning towards the center.
Final connection: Use the last line to connect the remaining dots.
