the impossible puzzle

[One of the Few]

For all of you mathematicians out there i already know that it is impossible.

 

If anyone can figure this out i will be genuinely amazed.

 

connect the dots of this series of dots on a piece of paper without lifting your utensil or going back over a line. Also the lines between the dots must be directly from one to another

 

the dots are like this: one on top, one below it, and two below that in a trianglular shape

 

 

Best of luck,

I can't help but think the OP was looking for something more miraculous, but I can't think what.

Well, I think I figured that after I posted: I think the idea was that for each pair of dots there is a direct connection line/path. In that case to draw it every dot except the starting and the end dot would need an even number of connections (one by which you approach the dot and one that you leave it with). That conflicts the demand that every dot has three connections. I think the problem was mentioned in "Fermat's Last Theorem"; at least I am fairly sure I read it in a non-math book somewhere.

Honestly, i wasn't expecting such a complex answer. Thank you for the input. I made up the puzzle in the fourth grade:)

the trees answer wasn't what I would have thought of..it works but it's more work ..quickest path is atheists

The problem is only of 3rd dot. And its very completed to apply last theorem. So, try for this twice.
