How many ways can you connect 4 dots?

The four blue lines are one length, and the two green ones are another length. (With four dots, there are six ways to chose a pair of dots, so there are six ‘distances’ between dots.) I learned of this puzzle from maths juggler Colin Wright, who learned it from puzzle maven Peter Winkler.

What does Steve Jobs mean by connecting the dots?

Throughout the speech, Steve makes the point to trust that you know where you are going. That only after you’re there, can you then connect the dots. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

How many ways can 6 dots be connected?

Altogether that gives us 10+60 = 70 ways of connecting 6 points so each point has exactly three neighbours. For 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, n points, there are 1, 2, 8, 64, 1024, 32768, 2^(n(n-1)/2) possible ways of connecting the points.

Do you have to draw 4 straight lines to connect 9 dots?

To solve the problem, you need to join all nine dots by drawing no more than four straight lines. The straight lines must be continuous – i.e. you must not lift your pen from the paper once you start drawing. Don’t read any further until you’ve tried to solve the problem. How did you get on?

What’s the task of connecting all 9 dots?

It was three rows of three dots on top of each other. The task was to connect all 9 dots using 4 straight lines without ever picking up the pencil or retracing any of the lines. . . .

How to draw 4 straight lines in 3 * 3 matrix?

You have given 9 dots in the form of 2d matrix 3 * 3. Your task is to draw four straight lines without lifting the pen and no dot should be left untouched. How will you solve this task? then draw a line from C to D (here you understand the purpose of extended line)

How to connect 9 circles in a matrix?

Consider 9 circles each arranged at the center of cells of a 2-D matrix of shape 3*3. Draw 3 straight lines without removing pen from paper such that each of the 9 circles is in contact with at least one line. A similar problem is present here Connect 9 dots using 4 lines.
