OK, so you may have seen this puzzle many times before.
Excuse me if it has been posted previously!
I don't remember exactly where I saw it first but the instructions
go something like this:
GOAL: Connect the pairs of boxes with the same label. ie [1] with [1],
[2] with [2], and [3] with [3]. The connections must be made by
drawing a continuous line sourcing from one of the boxes
and terminating at the other.
By a continuous line I mean anything you can draw WITHOUT
lifting your pencil.
RULES: 1)Lines connecting different pairs of boxes should not intersect.
2)No drawing is allowed outside of the big box.
This is the big box.
