It's a trick question, one that is from a famous puzzle.
It is the one that spawned the phrase, think "outside the box."
The puzzle is this.
Nine dots are arranged so that they form a square, three rows of
three dots, equally spaced.
Now, draw four straight lines that run through all nine dots,
all without lifting your pencil from the paper.
Most folks will feel the need to constrain their lines to the imaginary boundaries
that define the "box" although no such rule was stated.
By drawing far "outside the box," the lines are easily executed.
Don't assume (unless otherwise advised) that the X must be isolated in the middle of the square. Then, you simply draw one part of the X, go on to draw one side of the square, and continue in that manner until you end up with an X in a square. Easy!
A way I managed this when attempting this particular brain teaser was to draw the four lines of a box near the edge of the piece of paper, once completing the box you must keep your pencil nib pressed on the line that is furthest away from the edge of the paper, do not lift it off.
Fold the edge of the paper over with your free hand, so that the very tip of the edge of the paper enters the centre of your square and then bring the pencil back across the square line you created earlier until it rests upon the newly created fold, keep the pencil on the folded edge as you move toward the centre of the square. Once reaching the tip of the fold you can release the fold, your pencil now being in the centre of your square without being picked up from the surface of the paper. You can then draw an X with two small lines - Careful not to pick up your pencil until you're finished.
you need to fold the paper but ive never done it
i no its really hard to do it or work it out!
[><] Within the box, draw two "Vees" with the points touching but not crossing.
Get a pen and draw a X in the box with it.
its impossible
SIMPLE!!! use a pen

Crossing is almost the same as overlapping in the way ur using it. (P.s. use a pencil not a pen :D)
first of all draw a circle then don't lift your pencilsecondly draw a line halfway and keep your pencil therethirdly draw a line going left and keep your pencil therelast of all go round the bottom and draw a line from the right angle going back up to the halfway line and there you have it a perfect peace sign without taking your pencil off the paper.
Its easy, but you have to use a pencil. Right. Or you could lock the pen in place and move the paper.
get a pencil and some paper and draw a dove with the pencil onto the paper
A pencil.

There is no such thing as a i triangle
first of all draw a circle then don't lift your pencilsecondly draw a line halfway and keep your pencil therethirdly draw a line going left and keep your pencil therelast of all go round the bottom and draw a line from the right angle going back up to the halfway line and there you have it a perfect peace sign without taking your pencil off the paper.
No. You can have at most two vertices where an odd number of lines meet. The required figure has four.

If you can draw it without lifting your pencil
The drapes. Or a breath
Use A Ruler
no impossible
you can draw anything with a pencil.
all you have to do is draw overlapping humps.
