dotty challenge

[WillowTheWhisp]

Can you draw four straight lines which go through all of these dots? Your lines must be continuous (ie your pen must never leave the paper) and you must go through each dot only once but your lines may cross.

 

[entwisi]

yes I can, I'll PM you the correct answer so it doesn't spoil it so soon

 

[grannyclaret]

[WillowTheWhisp]

[grannyclaret]

Is it like this? Start at top left and go down first.

If the nine dots were on a piece of paper, you could roll the paper into a cylinder & then join 'em all up with one line.

Actually you started one dot too high, you wentthrough the top left one twice. by starting one dot down you don't

Paint is a pig to use isn't it, it took me 3 attempts with that damn spray can as it was

I was going to use that as a clue if people were struggling!

Why didn't you use the line tool in Paint Neil?
