0 Guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 2 horizontally &4 vertically? I did not understand what you mean. But if its the answer than way too small. At least 18. Could be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I see 19 in this setup. good one but at least I can make a few more. Maybe someone here can make even more than what I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 What do you mean by 'through' a W? When you add the lines, would it be indefinitely stretching lines, or are their lengths finite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 What do you mean by 'through' a W? When you add the lines, would it be indefinitely stretching lines, or are their lengths finite? They will be finite length i.e. line segments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 W Though you could theoretically twine one line continuously around the palnet to infinity - all crossing each time, then you will have three dimensional pazzles too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 dacablegy has got the number that I have but in slightly different configuration. Good job. And clearly explained too. Let see if this is the maximum we get or some one has a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
