Hello there..
I'd like to share with you one of the problems which I read once in A problem solving book.. I wonder if anyone knew it, and subsequently could answer it..
Now, see the circles on the right side. It is required to cross these circles with max. 4 straight lines, but the lines must be connected. It means you can't raise your hand off the paper when you want to make the next line..
PS: this problem has more than one solution. Now, let's see about yours..
Please note that comments will be moderated in order to allow more numbers of people participate in it. That means if anyone gives the correct answer, it will not be revealed to others in the early beginning :)
