distribute the 12 dots around the perimeter of a pentagon
draw a five pointed star
I can do it with 7 lines... But I cannot draw in this Wiki interface...
a star drawn with five lines will give you 10 dots on 5 lines with only 4 dots on each line. (or) simply draw a pentagon and put a cap ( a inverted 'V') on all sides.
Here are the 12 dots, labeled so we can talk about them:[1] - [ 2 ] - [ 3 ] - [ 4 ] -[5] - [ 6 ] - [ 7 ] - [ 8 ] -[9] - [10] - [11] - [12] --- Put your pencil down on #9, and don't pick it up until you're finished.-- Draw line-1 up through #5 and #1, and keep going up for a ways,just far enough so you can do the next step with a straight line.-- Draw line-2 slanting down through #2, #7, and #12.-- Draw line-3 straight to the left, through #11, #10, and back to #9.-- Draw line-4 slanting up, through #6 and #3, and keep going fora ways, until you're exactly straight up above #4.-- Draw line-5 straight down, through #4 and #8 .It all depends on the arrangement of the dots.Besides, there is nothing about straight lines, so used curved lines insteaddistribute the 12 dots around the perimeter of a pentagonSince you didn't specify the lines have to be the same length... Arrange the dots in a grid as follows :-OOOOOOOOOOOOThen - starting at he top left corner, draw a 'square spiral' (doesn't matter whether you go clockwise or anti--clockwise) - this will cover ALL the dots AND use only five lines !See Related Link below for a graphic.It all depends on the arrangement of the dots.Besides, there is nothing about straight lines, so used curved lines instead

Draw a line from one dot in the center to the other four dots. Or, draw a straight line. Place dots at either end of the line, and place dots in the center of the line.
It depends on where the dots are located. If they are all collinear only one straight line is required. For a 5x5 grid, only 5 lines are required.

You start by drawing a circle then draw 3+ dots on the circled edge, next connect all the dots with each other but don't go over the same line twice. for a 4 dotted circle you should end up with 6 lines altogether and with 5 you should have 10 lines altogether also 6-15 7=21 10=45 11=55 12=66

The Romans had a separate system for fractions based on 12 (like a clock). The fractions were made up from dots and the letter S. S =1/2 and each dot was 1/12. Dots alone represented 1/12 (.) to 5/12 (::.) , S was 6/12, S and dots represented 7/12 (S.) to 11/12 (S::.) and I was one.
By taking the number and setting it to the amount of the other number. Like if you have 3 eggs with 4 dots on them, then all together you have 12 dots. But if you wish to find how many eggs have dots and there are actually 5 eggs, because 2 did not have dots, then you'll know there are 3 eggs with dots on them.
