LadyBug4791 Mar 24, 2006	Is it just me, or does the bottom, middle start not get crossed in the solution?
LadyBug4791 Mar 24, 2006	STAR, not start. Geez.
JessicaLynn Mar 24, 2006	I get it! You have to go outside the "box"
teen_wiz Mar 24, 2006	That's hard! My brain hurts. Very fun, though!!!!!!
sosweet487 Mar 24, 2006	Umm you're missing a couple stars there buddy...
velreno Mar 25, 2006	Excellent! Kudos! All stars in 4 lines. Look closely. Seen it before but could not remember the secret.
PineappleMama Mar 25, 2006	I first saw this puzzle when I was about six, and loved it! I was surprised that no one had submitted it. It's a tricky little booger, that makes you "think outside the box." Thanks for checking out my teaser!
mosi Mar 25, 2006	you said not to touch a star twice correct. well... you touch the middle once twice
mosi Mar 25, 2006	you said not to touch a star twice correct. well... you touch the middle once twice
lelrod Mar 25, 2006	Oldie, but a goodie.
MarcM1098 Mar 28, 2006	You don't need to touch any stars more than once ! ........3.....3........3..........3....2 ............4..............................2 start...........4.....................2 ................................ ........1.................4...2 ........1.................2...4 ................................* ........1......2.......................4 End ........2
sgtammo Mar 28, 2006	That was fun! Nice one.
PineappleMama Mar 28, 2006	IF all of your angles are correct, then in order to connect all the stars you have to touch one more than once (top left corner)
jessjspieks Mar 29, 2006	I could swear this was a duplicate, but couldn't find the match...you got lucky. Maybe I have seen it somewhere else. Still love it
Mellew Mar 29, 2006	whoever said that the middle bottom star was not connected is rite it needs 2 b reported.....not saying i didnt luv the challenge tho
PineappleMama Mar 30, 2006	Line 2 runs diagonally up through the bottom middle star, then passes through the middle right star, then ends to the right of the top right star...you MUST think outside the box.
calmsavior Apr 12, 2006	this problem is easier than you claim
PineappleMama Apr 13, 2006	I solved it when I was only in 4th grade! I always thought it was pretty easy, but I'm one of those weird "creative thinkers."
wizofaus Apr 17, 2006	It never said the lines had to be straight - they can all actually be easily connected with just one line.
PineappleMama Apr 18, 2006	Dance in Smarty Pants!
tonjawithaj Apr 28, 2006	I love this one!
Swordoffury1392 May 04, 2006	Wait... How'd you submit your own teaser with pictures? Good teaser!
medster99 May 05, 2006	"Jake, the creator of the site, submitted the picture teasers "Connect the Dots" and "Connect the Dots II". Although the teaser "Connect the Dots" is a duplicate of 29282, the earlier teaser doesn't have a picture. Someone reported them as duplicates, and got rejected. But the really fun part is, Jake deleted his own one, and put the pictures in the former teaser. " Quoted from shenqiang
Swordoffury1392 May 05, 2006	Oh! Thanks. lol
warmonkey318 May 13, 2006	That was really good!
sweetmama Jun 08, 2006	Love this one, although I have seen a variation of it before, I still loved it. Good one Mama
lukeschett Jan 16, 2007	Awesome!!!!!!!!
achin4clay Jun 07, 2007	gosh, my head hurts...
J-Five Oct 25, 2008	I knew how to do it. But it is a tricky one.
