[Puzzle 003]

Does anyone want to help celebrate the new year with a puzzle? I made it up myself!

Which of these shapes can't be drawn without picking your pen up from the page or retracing any lines?

It's okay if you cross over a line you already made, but if you've got it all right you shouldn't need to.

Don't tell anyone else your answer! I'm not going to give it away to everyone either.

[meanwhile he still needs things like a real place to live and such. Does that matter in the face of puzzles? ...Well, yes, actually. Luke's a fan, but not a maniac. He just doesn't know anyone well enough to think of living with them, or asking. Or...anything.

He will be at Seventh Heaven, chowing down for dinner. Boy can eat half a menu when he's hungry.]

It's B, right? The stuff inside it doesn't even matter. I can't figure out how to draw a cube without going over lines again.

[Maybe he should've left it the hexagon-shape it was before.]

Are you sure the circles don't help you do it?

I don't think so. Besides, the other three worked out. Process of elimination.

_{[oh dear what is this. What is this.

But well, she might try answering.

Thinking, thinking.]}

The answer's........ A?

_{[she's totally guessing.]}

Edited 2012-01-04 19:40 (UTC)

[All puzzle answer replies will be under a filter!]

Nope! Sorry, try again. If you want I can draw A for you from start to finish without retracing.

I know - it's B! That's a really interesting puzzle, huh?

[Heck yeah, puzzle skills. ~~Which the mun had to check the other threads for because sob.~~]

What makes you so sure that B is the right answer?

B. You can either draw the cube with the circle at its corner, or the square with the same, but not both.

[She may not be the puzzle freak that say, Link is. But she knows a thing or two about lines. They're a two-dimensional form of boundary, after all.]

Wow, even I can't draw the cube with the circle attached in one line. How did you do it?

[She spends a few minutes trying to trace out the shapes, before giving up with a pout.]

"A" looks the most complicated, so that's gotta be it, right?

Nope, sorry. A is actually the easiest one, it has a place you have to start and end.

The fault in this type of puzzle is that it's overly simple once you learn its trick.

[Not that he doesn't appreciate the effort.]

Hey, don't tell anyone the trick! That's something people should work out for themselves.

[That's a pretty nice puzzle you've got there, Luceti. While he's figuring it out, he might as well converse with the youngster.]

That's a pretty impressive puzzle you've got there. You really came up with it all by yourself?

[~~Hughes did you just call him Luceti~~]

Of course! I wouldn't say that if it was someone else's work.

[This is the best hand writing ever. Totally ignoring the fact this might be a puzzle in favour of stating how nice those drawings are. :|b]

[Oh. Oh Yotsuba. He'll speak to her because...he's not sure if she can read really.]

Thanks! It took a long time to get them to look as neat as I wanted.

You didn't read someone else's answer, right?

[wow you are putting in so much effort.

Waiting.]
