The aim of the game is to connect all 3 houses to water, electricity and gas suppliers without crossing any lines. Some guy gave it to me, saying that him and many others tried to solve it but couldn't. I've been trying to solve it for the last 15min but so far no luck. It's like impossible... Let's see who's smart enough  | ||

Well, it would be possible if you draw the houses and the water/fire/lightning on a ball, but not on a 2D paper xD Now I know why I studied this shit for 1 year  | ||

 There's a math way of solving it using some of Euler's formulas. I can't remember how and I'm too lazy to think about it. | ||

A planar graph cannot contain K3,3 as a minor. what that is saying is that you cannot construct a graph that has three vertices, each of which are connected to each of another three (different) vertices. | ||

I tried to swirl it around a bunch of time but the last 2 connections never work. Last 1 connection actually :p | ||

Well, since it's on that site i thought it has a solving. I tried all sorts of lines but it always remains one last line impossible to be drawn . | ||

I like that solving Cyu, impressive haha. On a serious note, i've solved it: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2313/solvedk.jpg) + Show Spoiler + Oh well, it's a glitch or something, you must draw the line through a house. You stop just before you connect the house then right click and move mouse at the other part of the house then left click ... and line is continuous through the house. Disappointed that this has no real solving but was fun spending 40min thinking about it. | ||

I prefer the 3d solutions myself, you can make pretty weaves of uncrossed lines that way. | ||

no, i did it on paint as a joke. after seeing pika's solution i tried to do the right-click thing to simulate going around the world but the line just went straight across the screen lol. ): | ||
