Ok smart guys.....try this puzzle?!!!!!

95gtSTANG · 10-30-2001, 06:55 PM

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!

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..

I got a quiz for ya.. "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck would chuck wood?" (pull my finger to find out)

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)

PKRWUD · 10-31-2001, 01:27 AM

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?

Take care,

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

kinda like that?

This puzzle is similar to the following two puzzles which are unsolvable.

Cross all 7 bridges (gray rectangles) only once.

Cross each line segment only once.

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.

Maybe I didn't understand the instructions, but wouldn't this work:

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.

Thanks. I was thinking that was the frame.

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??

95gtSTANG · 11-01-2001, 08:26 PM

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

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.
