how did you do this exactly as that was the first idea i had and it told me I was making
duplicates when I tried to run a line from one house into another.
>> [_] Anonymous 12/19/13(Thu)21:14 No.2228310
this puzzle is more of a riddle and can be solved if drawn on a piece of paper. the solution is
to draw a line through one of the houses/utilities, that way no line is crossed and you can reach
all places. however, the flash hasn't included this possibility so it's not the riddle version of
the puzzle.

Here is the original puzzle, in full.
"Suppose there are three cottages on a plane (or sphere) and each needs to be connected to the
gas, water, and electric companies. Using a third dimension or sending any of the connections
through another company or cottage is disallowed. Is there a way to make all nine connections
without any of the lines crossing each other?"
Please note where it says sending a connection through another company or cottage is disallowed.

The answer to the strict puzzle posed above is no; It is impossible to connect the three cottages
with the three different utilities without at least one of the connections crossing another. More
generalised questions may have different answers.[3]

It's a little hard to explain the proof. Basically connect two utilities to the three houses, and
you'll be guaranteed to divide the plane into three separate sections (including the "outside"
section). and the third utility must be in one of these sections. Every house touches exactly two
of the sections. Because the houses are distinct points, each touches a different two sections.
The third utility must be in one of these sections, and one house touches only the other two
sections. You can't draw a line from the third utility's section to another section without
crossing a line (That's the Jordan Curve Theorem, which seems simple but is wickedly hard to
prove) so that house that doesn't touch the third utility's section can't be connected.

Because when you right click the program stops, then when you left click past the house it allows

The correct solution to this puzzle is to have lines running underneath the houses. A water pipe,
for instance, could run in a pipe underneath and connect to all three. Gas similarly could, with
electricity in lines above the houses. You can even draw this fairly easily.
The problem with this "puzzle" is that it doesn't allow for that solution. Without being able to
pass a line through the houses, it looks to be impossible. So more troll shit.

Did you know that it's impossible to have a digestive tract? A tract through the center of any

The correct solution to this problem is to have three dimensions. And not be retarded.

I believe it is meant to make you think you're retarded for not beating it, thus making you try
harder to beat it more, thus making you more retarded.
