Now you can stop bothering all the people who agree with me in the comments section of "Puzzle in a Puzzle" because it DOES work and you CAN connect the blots with lines that do not cross or go outside the grid. FACT.

Excellent... :) but I read this puzzle in a primary school book (more than 30 years ago).
They stated, that 90% of people says it's impossible. But it isn't true... 90% of people don't want to think on problems like this. It means there are appr. 1% of humans can be solve this. :)

Thomas, 90% + 1% = 91% what about the other 9% ?

Maybe they could solve it, but have other things they would rather be spending time on.

Perhaps 90% say it's impossible, 9% SAY it's possible but they don't KNOW the answer and 1% know the answer. Probably.

Yes.
(1-0,9)(1-0,9)=0,01 aka 1%
In text: 100 persons heared the problem.
90 not interested. All not-interested didn't solve and didn't say anything about solvability.
10 interested and tried to solve. 9 (OF THEM) said it's impossible. 1 could solve. 1 is 1% of 100.
Q.E.D.

how many percent make the puzzle into another puzzle?

One might argue that "lines" are straight. :)

Kristen, some women have curvy lines.
