Hope you dont mind Sig.
I have something that needs a solution
Here is a shape that has to have each segment passed through buy ONE CONTINUOUS line ONCE and once only
You may start anywhere you wish inside the shape or outside..
Not as easy as it looks 🙂
Good luck
I have also shown an example
Solved! Go to Solution.

Sure.....blame the op...lol....
I couldn't do it going through the mid lines. Therefore, it had to be at the point of concurrency...(where multiple lines meet).
If multiple lines meet at one point, at an intersection....they are covered (literally)...in my opinion......
Concurrent lines intersect in a single point and that point of intersection is the point of concurrency.......
Anyway........I'm sure everyone will still say I'm wrong.....

Just thinking-if the puzzle was on a flat bit of paper--
-would rolling it into a cylindrical shape or folding it in half or a triangle
shape etc make any difference?...................................................................Richo.

The question says to pass through the segments not the lines that make up the segments.
A large side ways U would do it easy.

A line segment is the portion of a line lying strictly between two points. It has a finite length and no width
The shape has 16 line SEGMENTS

Two or three line segments create that point.

As you can see there is not mention of line in the question.
The question says segment. A line starting at one side, continuing to the other side, then a u turn and back into the bottom section then through to the side the line started on would meet the requirements stated in the question.

A point specifies only location; it has no length, width, or depth. We usually represent a point with a dot on paper, but the dot we make has some dimension, while a true point has dimension 0.
