    My nephew sent me this problem that his teacher gave him.

    You have to go through each line only once and come back to the starting point.

    Start wherever you want but you have to come back to that starting point without missing one line.

    The lines they say are missed are not missed at all. They were crossed. The top line that makes the top of the box was crossed on the right side. the line on th left was crossed twice. If they wanna argue semantics you could point this out and win. :)

    If this is a "Geometry" question, then I have to say that this is a trick question because there are no "lines" on that image... only "segments".

    JH,

    I know this puzzle from thirty plus years ago, so I won't spoil it for everyone. Also, I HATE the "solution", it's Bogus!

    Eric, I don't know the answer to this quiz, so if nobody gets the answer, show us the way to solve this problem later on tonight.

    Because this drawing forms an odd number of boxes, the puzzle is impossible to solve. Draw a similar puzzle with an even number of boxes and you will be able to solve it.

    I can't do it. there must be a solution since the teacher gave it to the students.

    Well, Eric will tell us later. I hope...

    LOL... you're kidding right?

    This particular puzzle has no solution. Unless you draw outside of two dimensions.
