Ok smart guys.....try this puzzle?!!!!!
Im sure some one has seen this one....the idea is that there are 3 houses and 3 utilities ( water, electric, and phone). each house is across from a utility...
W E P H H H the idea is to connect each utility to each house without crossing the lines. what do you think? Oh yea, you also cannot say that the plumbing is underground!! lol..It doesnt work that way! ------------------ 95'gt, 75mm bullet, 30#inj, 75mmtb, Tfs track heat intake, 255 pump, billet fuel regulator, msd btm, underdrive pulley's, pro 5.0 shifter, off road h-pipe, flowmasters, turbo technology's t-04b, all turbo pipes are jet hot coated, running an unequal length header on driver side ;) MY TURBO MUSTANG! |
Umm... run each utility to the house across the street from it and connect the the lines from the house to house.. maybe I don't understand the question.. this place is getting crazy.. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

That's what I came up with, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any other ideas before I posted.
HEY!!! WTF??? WHO FARTED??? |
err... not me.. =x (I smell it though)
|
Run the utility to each house across from it. The house on the left has solar panels and a HAM radio, the house in the middle has a well and a HAM radio, and the house on the right has a well and solar panels.
Piece of cake. BTW, anyone got a match?

Yeh I don't think there is anyway to solve this problem unless you connect the lines from one house to another. I'll keep trying though. But I think there is no way.

My friend came up with this
idea. W connected to E to P. cause they use each other. then one to each house. I don't know if that sounds right or not. hard to say cause I can't draw it on here. w-e-p ! ! ! h h h kinda like that? |
This puzzle is similar to the following two puzzles which are unsolvable.

|/|\| W E P Ok guys, how bout this: I have the houses arranged on the top and the utilities on the bottom. Water is routed to house on the left and the house in the middle, then water is routed from center house to house on the right. Electricity is sent to center house where is then rerouted to both houses on the left and right. Telephone is sent to house on the right and house in the middle, house in the middle then sends a phone line to house on left. This is what I came up but I may be wrong. |
Jim-
Maybe I didn't understand the instructions, but wouldn't this work: http://homepage.mac.com/pkrwud/.Pict...puzzlebox.jpeg Take care, -Chris ------------------ Retired Moderator MustangNet My site: Peckerwoods Pit Stop http://homepage.mac.com/pkrwud/.Pict...sc./MyMac.jpeg My teams site: Jim Porter Racing RACECAR spelled backwards is RACECAR HEY !!!

hey, quit trying to use up all my brain cells.
Pththththt.. Ididntdoit. |
Sorry, Chris, I guess I wasn't clear enough. The outside segments count, too.

PKRWUD, in Jim's puzzle you missed all of the outside line sections, just thought I'd interject. He is correct that those two are unsolvable, however your puzzle is lacking a lot of information leaving it open to multiple solutions from running any utility from the rear side of the utility itself to the rear side of the middle house and so on.
don't know if this helps any but have fun anyway. Thanks for the puzzles. ------------------ Jason Kimball "The Gecko" |
Jim-
Thanks. I was thinking that was the frame. Gecko- None of these were my puzzles. Don't give me the credit, I make a living trying to solve problems, not create them!

Geckos_mustang, you can assume that you can connect lines at an infinite number of points in a circle around the utilities and houses. You can also place the utilities and houses in any position that you wish on the planet. You may also have your lines be as long as you want, even circling the globe. It would still be impossible. The easiest way to figure this out is to draw a diagram connecting two houses to all of the utilities. Now, try to place the 3rd house anywhere on the diagram where you can hook up the three utilities. As you can see, it's impossible.

95gtSTANG, what's the answer bro??
|
hah...I see i have people in anticipation.
I had no idea, but i posted this same thing on the corral....I think the proper solution is to roll the paper in a cylinder and route some of the lines around back....its pretty kewl....it basically turns it in to a 3d solution...kinda ------------------ 95'gt, 75mm bullet, 30#inj, 75mmtb, Tfs track heat intake, 255 pump, billet fuel regulator, msd btm, underdrive pulley's, pro 5.0 shifter, off road h-pipe, flowmasters, turbo technology's t-04b, all turbo pipes are jet hot coated, running an unequal length header on driver side ;) MY TURBO MUSTANG! |
Try this one.
Using one continuous line connect all the dots; you can only have 4 lines or change direction 3 times but the line has to be continuous and can not have any breaks in it. http://www.netsnapshot.com/users/226...g_2263_8.pjpeg ------------------ James Cox nochevy@hotmail.com 1991 Mustang LX |
