This one is impossible. I think.

Try connecting those three circles. Here is the catch. Each circle must have a line from the other, meaning each circle will have three lines. Keep in mind, you can't cross lines. meaning two lines can't touch each other.

Try it on a peice of paper or whatever.

If its impossible why make a thread about it? Its like me saying.

Take these six circles, and count all the tangent angles on them.

Well, maybe there is someone out there who can solve it. I personally couldn't. Let everyone have a try. It's somewhat time consuming and entertaining. :D

No it is not, this is an impossible problem which one of my lecturers gave out to his first year students in the first class of the year and said, whoever solves this by next week will get an HD (high destinction, like an A+) without attending any the classes nor handing up assignments or sitting the exam. He did it for a laugh but a shit load of students spent hours and days into it. I asked him why he did that and he asked me to sit the lecture the next class (he's my mentor sort of thing), anyway i sat his next class and nobody had solved it, some students said that it was impossible and blah. He asked who spent how long on it and some people are persistant (some little dude spent day and night trying to solve the puzzle). Pepople did searches on the net, blah blah blah. He then says, all this time you guys spent to get an easy HD (A+), spend it on proper study and you'll get there and in the end you'll save yourself the frustration of failiure and time wasting.
Best lecturer EVER

depends on the how the question is asked. one of the problems is that you have to put a line through all the dots without lifting your pen and it has to be done in three straight lines. thats definatly possible i've figured that one.

the question jurhum asks is only possible if you fold the paper, draw on the folded side, get to where you want to and then unflod the paper.
