>> [_] Anon 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. >># nah surely not. he is missing the "how do i take screenshot" tab.

>> [_] Anon 2228341 >># 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.
>> [_] Anon 2228344 man some graph theory autists are getting really mad up in this thread
>> [_] Anon 2228346 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.

>> [_] Anon 2228382 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.

>> [_] Anon 2228426 >># where are your tabs?
>> [_] Anon 2228441 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.

[_] Someone fucking solve this!!! Anon 2030752 My brain is melting! Marked for deletion (old).
>> [_] Anon 2030768 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water,_gas ,_and_electricity
>> [_] Anon 2030780 Simple explanation Why is it impossible to solve this puzzle in 2 dimensions? Have a look at the diagram in fig. a below and you will understand that 3 connections starting from 2 utility suppliers will inevitably ENCLOSE one of the houses preventing it from being connected to at least one utility supplier (according to Jordan's curve theorem, a loop or a closed curve will have an inside and an outside no matter how we stretch or curve our lines, as long as they don't cross). Alternative solution 1 Nevertheless, this puzzle is possible to solve by using subterfuge... The only way this can be done without the lines crossing is by allowing one of the lines (it doesn't matter which one) to enter a house or a utility company and then emerge from the building on the other side. In fact, the wording of the puzzle is a bit imprecise and doesn't forbid lines to go through the houses or to use the third dimension! http://www.archimedes-lab.org/How_to_Sol ve/Water_gas.html
>> [_] Anon 2030789 >># But the game doesn't allow running lines through houses.
