Try and solve this, for real masterminds :) !

Okay,

this game is waaay old, but I never ever found the solution for it.

the rules are simple:
You have 6 circles, and from the 3 circles beneath, you've gotta draw 3 lines per circle that must reach the 3 other circles above.
SO: just draw from each circle 3 lines to the 3 other circles laying above, do this with all the 3 circles to the above circles. The ONLY problem is, the lines may not cross each other you can make all kind of shapes with the lines, it doesn't matter but they just don't may cross each other.
That's all, seems simple but damn difficult.

I've added some pics to make it more easy.
So this is how you've gotta begin:


And this is one of the possibilities, but I can't draw the last line. because they will cross.


Looking forward if you can find it ENJOY

on a flat paper .. its not possible

ohh wait .. i think i can do it

I will post later

No matter what I do, I always screw myself over on the last line haha

edit -
After looking it up on the internet, it seems there is indeed no way to solve it while adhering to the rules. 8 is the highest amount of connections you can get.

So you cheated and ruined the puzzle from the others.

I didn't cheat, and I didn't ruin anything. I tried it for a good 45 minutes on my own, and saw no possible way to complete it within the rules, so I wanted to see if I was correct and indeed I was. I solved the puzzle in that sense, and thus my post was no more spoiling than one containing a picture of the completed puzzle.

This appears to be a modification of the 7 bridges of Konigsberg problem...which is unsolveable and considerably older.

i got like 3-5 diff. ways to get all but the last one :bah: on flap paper it can me done b/c you have to go around them and that inturn blocks but default

[DeMoN]

i saw someone solve it by using another paper, draw the line and continue over the other paper just to bring around the paper they started with... so like, using 2 papers.

I remember trying this before with some friends. Didn't know it wasn't solvable.

Sometimes a puzzle like this is simple, and the answer just presents it self. Other times, like now, it becomes a challenge. This was hard!

Reminds me of a similar game:
Try to connect all 9 dots with only the use of one continuous line. You are only allowed to change directions 3 times, making 4 connected lines.





I do not intend to "steal" the tread -just ad..
