To connect 4 dots with 3 lines, you can use a geometric technique called a "triangle paradox." Start by drawing a triangle connecting three of the dots. Then, draw a line from the remaining dot to the midpoint of one of the triangle's sides. Finally, draw a line connecting the midpoint of another side of the triangle to the remaining dot. This will create a figure that connects all 4 dots with only 3 lines.

This question is not complete. The correct scenario begins with 4 dots arranged in a square. The challenge is as follows: # Draw three straight line. # You cannot lift your pencil. # You can not cross over any lines. # You must end on the same dot you start with. The solution is to simply think outside the box. Draw a large triangle. Start with your pencil on a single dot (We'll use the bottom left for this example). Draw a straight line to the right that extends past the dot on the bottom right. Then draw from that point diagonally towards the top left, going through the dot at the top right, and ending directly above the two left dots. Finally draw a line straight down, going through the top left and ending at the bottom right.
