    Can anybody show me how to draw one continuous line, without lifting the pen from the suface of the paper, but that crosses every line once and once only.

    The winner may have my soursop if they want to pick it up from Mick.

    Tristan,

    Bob hasn't said there isn't a solution - I merely asked him?

    There is a solution.

    He didn't say the line had to be straight, and he didn't say you couldn't go outside the box.

    Overlay a spiral and you may just be on a winner.

    No, there isn't. Look closely at the picture and you'll see that three of the boxes have five lines surrounding them. Now, for this problem to work, for all but two of the boxes (the start and finish ones) your line has to leave as many times as it enters - i.e. there has to be an even number of sides. Since there are three boxes with an uneven number of sides, you're always going to find yourself "stuck" in one of them.

    No picture, just a description:

    The one who made it didn't want it.
    The one who bought it didn't need it.
    The one who used it never saw it.

    Mick, in your little garden of Eden, do you grow granadillas? I haven't had one since we left Mt Mulligan 54 years ago, and can still remember that i loved them. No one down here has heard of them, and last time I was up your way none were ripe.
