Heres what it is you have to set it out as shown below(the one with no lines on it) and what you have to do is join up the 1 to A B C, 2 to A B C and 3 to A B C but the lines can not overlap as shown in second diagram and im still wondering how you could send the solved thing to me

This is an age old puzzle. I know it as the gas company, the water company and the electricity company had to connect to three houses but their pipes and wires were not allowed to cross each other.

Clue to the answer - you have to use solid geometry.

Imagine the problem as I said it in my first post of the gas, electric and water serving three houses. We live on a sphere - the world and to carry out the required piping/wiring one of the utilities has to take the feeder pipe or cable around the world.
