                              NINE-DOT PROBLEM

                        '     There is a classic problem that works on your visual learn-
                              ing style as well as your creativity and spatial-relationship
                         @    skills. It is called the Nine Dot problem because it is con-
                              cerned with the following array of dots:


                                                       •• •


                                                       •• •


                                                       •• •



                                  The task is to connect the dots with four straight lines
                              without taking the pencil off the page. No line should dou-
                              ble back over another line. Each dot must be on at least one
                              line. After you try this, check the answer at the end of this
                              chapter.
