Can You Draw 4 Straight Lines Through 9 Dots Without Lifting Your Pen?

Challenge:
Using just 4 straight lines, try to connect all 9 dots in a continuous stroke without lifting your pen.

 

 

Rules:

• The end of one line must be the start of the next.
• You must pass through all 9 dots.

Solution:
To solve this classic 9-dot puzzle, you need to think outside the box—literally! The trick is to extend the lines beyond the imaginary grid of dots.

Here’s the step-by-step path:
1️⃣ Line 1: 7 → 4 → 1 → A (extend beyond the grid)
2️⃣ Line 2: A → 2 → 6 → B (extend beyond the right edge)
3️⃣ Line 3: B → 9 → 8 → 7
4️⃣ Line 4: 7 → 5 → 3
