[boredbloke]

nope you've missed the middle two hortizontal bits...

[Jack]

Hmm!

[boredbloke]

come on jack do it do it! :lol:

[jkhilton]

it doesn't say how wide the line has to be, could you do it with 1 big wide line that covers the whole of the box?

it wouldn't be passing through the lines twice and gets everything.

[boredbloke]

lol well i was handed a pen and paper last last night.... so i don't think that wouldn't been easy to create...

i actually don't think it's possible....

Following a line doesn't mean you're crossing it :wink:

[hendrix]

thats cheating roadknight

[Jack]

Thats the only way to do it in 2D...

[Martin]

Martin....

[jkhilton]

you've crossed the line twice towards the bottom right.

[Martin]

oh yeh lol :cry:

[wisewood]

I WILL FIGURE THIS OUT!!!!!

[boredbloke]

jolly fat man if you can do it proply** i'll send ya a tenner if not u have to change my "senior member" status to "this man is a god"... :lol:

**proply meaning as if you'd do it with paper and a biro (no tipping the ink out...)
and only crossing the lines no running along them roadknight stylee....

Gotit?

[Dod]

I'm gonna take a look at home tonight and i'll get it then. No probs!!!

[wisewood]

[boredbloke]

pmsl!!!!!!

i'd even sign it if i could!!

what accountancy coursework ya got??

I'm in the middle of sitting a load of ACCA exams at the mo, major boring shit!!

[Jack]

You'll be trying for a very long time :wink:

Its a known "impossible" 2D puzzle :P

[boredbloke]

sshhhhhhh.... :roll: :lol:

[wisewood]

ACCA is the way i'm headed... doing AAT at the moment.

Nothing's impossible!! Even known impossible puzzles.

[Philsutton]

you could probably do it if you were to distort time an space and make the 2d object appear 3d, just inside the event horizon of a black hole will suffice lol

[wisewood]

It can be done

[boredbloke]

well is there any time limit to our agreement here?

cos i'm still willing to bet you can't do it,

i'll even prove it if you change the name first....

AAT i finished june last year, ACCA is ALOT different believe me!!! :o

If you not working in practice and are likely never to be I'd take CIMA.

I actually can't wait for mine to be over!!!

I sat four this term, plus i'm working full time in the city too, I think i may have overdone it...

[wisewood]

I'm already working at an accountancy practice... i sent my cv in a month after i started the AAT this year... they invited me for an interview having no particular job available... offered mea job being groomed to allow the guy who runs the place to take early retirement. Sweet.

I'm spending the next 6-12 months learning everything i can about VAT, Bank Rec's, Payroll, & Accounts then it's off to win new clients, and explain accounts to the existing ones. At that stage, the guy in charge wil retire to his villa in spain i should think.

ACCA is the best option, but obviously its a long way off yet lol.

[boredbloke]

so .... solved it yet??

[wisewood]

right, someone handed me this puzzle and told me i have to draw one line to cross all other lines without missing any or going over the same one twice...


Those were your instructions, and here is my answer. Piece of cake as soon as you realise you never stated which side of the line you had to start from :D

yeah baby i rock!!!

[boredbloke]

pmsl!!

[wisewood]
