If the solution of 1 puzzle is posted everyday, then we would be able to finish this by 2nd July (well before when the test begins) Are you thinking about something like this?

Posts: 45 ![]() ![]() Country : India | adityasaraf007 posted @ 2010-06-26 4:21 PM Can't we do it like this. Is it because we want to find out the no. of turns by the loop ![]() | ||||||||||||||||||||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : India | Administrator posted @ 2010-06-26 4:32 PM Aditya, If we allow the red lines as you have shown, there will be 2 loops. (one small loop and another big loop) That is not allowed. As per the instruction "Draw a single continuous loop that visits all dots. ....." The answer key is "The number of turns made by the loop" - That has got nothing to do with what the solution should be. [ The answer key will never govern what the solution should be. Since we don't have mechanism to solve the puzzles online, we have to rely on answer keys like many other online puzzle contests] | ||||||||||||||||||||
