Has Bookwyrn actually claimed that he is cop? The only thing I think he's said was he investigated CSPVG last night.

I laughed.

Touche.

wait, tomorrow of the tomorrow?

that would be tuesday, wouldn't it?

You are correct that the paper size would still be irrelevant as one could continue the line off the edges of said paper, but the idea that dimensionless dots exist plays counter to someone actually drawing the lines in such a fictional universe.

@Hunter - are you able to confirm or deny that CSPVG reported accurately about your file being #7?

*shrug*

Just do the problem assuming a line with one dimension and points with no dimensions then. Do it in your head, but illustrate the answer using real world, thus less precise, utensils. Assume all the points are on a plane in Euclidean space.

Can you still do it in 3 lines?

So it appears about every 100 posts moves the deadline up an hour.
No, but 4 is too easy...

I never said it was hard; I actually said the opposite. ;)

Ah shit, an edit over silliness...

Assuming the lines must be perfectly straight, and the points lay on a plane that is unbendable, it isn't possible.

You could cut the paper into strips and line up the dots...

I can verify, RWarehall's posts merged. The original post was just the first line.

The minimum number of lines ends up being very dependent on the exact wording of the question...

I would count that as 'bending'. But let is say that the plane cannot be manipulated at all.
