My brother just told me he couldnt work this trick /game out and i was like i will give it a go, and now i cant do it, its driving me crazy!!

ok what you do, get some paper.

Draw down a 6 by 6 grid with dots… ( 6 rows and 6 columns)

– You can only start from one of the corners (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right)

You have to pass over each dot in the grid and must end on the oposite corner that you started (start, top left , end bottom right)

You can only go sideways, up and down and you cannot pass through the same way twice (up then up again or side and side again… ect…)

HOW DO YOU DO IT!!! :crazy:

well, if allowed, I would bend the space so that all dots are at one place, and make one line trough all

lol I was thinking about that too. Just fold the paper over itself 5 times so all the dots line up and one line from top to bottom will go from corner to corner and make it through all dots … just 6 at a time 😉

and you cant go diagonal.

Only

sideways (left and right…)… Up and Down. and like i said you can not go the same direction more than once ( up then up is not allowed nor is right then right again, left and left , down and down, not allowed.)

say you can go right , then down then right again, that ok, but you cant go right , then right again… get me 😉

</div>

btw you can go in one direction more than once. ggeeezzz my brother told me the wrong info…

so you can do up and up agan or down and down again, or sideways and sideways again.
