To connect 9 dots with 4 lines, you must think outside the box. The key is to draw lines that extend beyond the boundaries of the dots. Start by drawing a line that goes through the first three dots in an L shape, then continue the line outside the dots to connect the remaining dots. This unconventional approach allows you to connect all 9 dots with just 4 lines.

DevinYes. It can be done with as little as three, but you have to use your imagination. I assume you are talking about a 3 x 3 arrangement as in a tic tac toe grid. If you number them upper left to lower right,

Four lines: 1 to past 7, then though 8 and past 6, then through 3,2 and stop at 1, then though 5 and 9. The key is extending the lines past the grid.
Three lines: 7 through 4 and 1 at an angle. Extend the line until you can come down through 2, 5, and 8. Extend the line again until you can upswing through 9, 6 and 3. It will look like the letter N. As long as the dots are not points, this works.

How do you connect 9 dots with 2 lines?
It depends on where the dots are located.
How can you connect 9 dots without lifting your pencil with only 3 lines?
. . . . . . . . . like this type only in 3 lines.
How do you connect 9 dots with 3 straight lines and not lifting your pencil?
You need to extend the lines far beyond the box of dots. Your answer should look like a really tall and skinny N.
If you had 9 dots how would you connect then all with 4 lines?
Put the dots in a general square outline. But make one side have 4 dots and the others have 3. Then go around the outline of the square.
Use 9 dots with 4 strait lines?
This is a well known puzzle. The challenge is to draw through a 3x3 grid of 9 dots using only 4 connected straight lines. If we label the dots from top left to bottom right 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 then the explanation will be easier. The first line must go diagonally down and right from 1 to 9 then top on 9. The second line goes straight left from 9 to 7, and then continues on the rough length of another (imaginary) dot. The third line goes diagonally up and right through 4 and 2, and then continues the length of another imaginary dot. The final line goes straight down through 3 and 5.

How do you join 9 3x3 dots and only use 1 straight line?
It is not possible. Several (4) straight lines without lifting your pen is possible but 1 line is not.

Can you please help me with connecting 9 dots with 4 strait lines?
If this is the one where the dots are in a square 3 x 3, and every dot must be connected by a straight line to every other dot, I do not think it can be done.
What is the code for the truth file 12 in assassins creed 2?
The answer is 1= two lines and a dot, 3= three lines, and 9= a line and two dots
How do you connect 12 dots with 5 straight lines without lifting pencil?
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
How can you trace 9 dots with 3 lines?
Example: ... ... ... put 1 line on the first 3 dots, 1 line on the 2nd 3 dots and 1 line on the last 3 dots. ......... if you meant like that, then do the same thing. just act like they are in 3's.
