how do u draw a box with an x in it without crossing lines or lifting ur pencil?

Question

its bothering me and i used to be able to do it

retraising lines is not aloud

Answer 1

Its done like this.......__)(/=?`´``'#'+ OK.

Answer 3

It's impossible. If you look at any corner of the box, you have exactly three lines which join that point. So for any of these points, we have three lines which must go in and out of vertex somehow. Now consider what happens as you draw the box. You start at a corner and draw a single line. That vertex now has one line going from it. Every other vertex you visit as you draw will now have one going in, and one going out, except the last (where you end up) which will have a line going in. It doesn't take much thinking about therefore to realise that you can have a maximum of two vertices with three associated lines, but in our problem, we have four. So impossible. There is a similar problem where you put a little roof on the box (and draw a house). This is possible because now you have only two vertices that have three associated lines, the other two have four. This question, by the way, is part of a branch of maths known as graph theory. Try looking up the Seven Bridges of Königsberg on wiki for the first proper application of this theory.

Answer 4

take pencil and do a horizontal line for the top of the square, then go down from the end of that line (corner) to the middle and back to the corner then do a veritcal line for the side then repeat the line from the corner to the middle follow that line back to the corner do another horizontal line for the bottom of the square and at the end of that line (corner) draw a line to the middle touching the other 2 then back to the corner, do another vertical line for the other side and touch the first line completing the square then go from that corner to the middle touching the other 3 lines and you have an x in a square without lifting your pencil or crossing a line. i hope you can make sense of that i would draw it but i cant obviously. good luck.

Answer 5

Start in the lower left corner, draw a line diagnonally up to the right corner, draw a line straight down to the lower right corner (you will now have a triangle, but DON'T pick up the pencil), draw a line straight up to the upper left corner, draw a line straight across the the upper right corner, draw line diagonally up to the left, stop midway above the middle of the horizontal line you drew one step earlier, draw diagonally down til your pencil meets the upper left corner of the box, draw a diagonal line down through the box to the lower right.

Piece of cake. Okay, so this actually draws a house with an "X" in it, but ---

Answer 6

1. Start at the bottom right corner. Go to the left.
2. Go up.
3. Go to the right.
4. Go up, making a diagonal line to the left.
5. Go down, making a diagonal line going left.
6. Cross over in the middle of the box (going to the bottom right corner, diagonal line, going right)
7. Go up (reaching top right corner)
8. Make the final line, crossing over again.

This is as best I know how to describe it. It looks like a box with an X in it, with a roof over it.

Answer 7

Easy Start out with drawing a backwards L then at the top go West then North East then South East. Then South West. Then North Then South East. It is pretty easy. Just got to look at it hard enough.

Answer 8

Start from a corner, make a line down the middle, then drop your pencil, and pick it up (by sliding it, and lifiting it from one end, while the other side is still touching the paper)at the point where you couldnt reach

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!

Answer 9

ok this will be confusing but first draw the box and at the last corner u connect fold the paper and drag your penci over and move the fold toward the middle..draw one side of the x fold the paper to get the pencil on the fold go move to the other side and draw the other part of the x and there you go! lol i hope it wasnt too confusing

Answer 10

Draw four triangles that make a box with an x in it.

Answer 11

draw a line, and go from corner to center w/o crossing middle, go back over original line (if that's allowed) and continue four times making a square
