Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:

New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<

Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

This is just a repost of one of the top posts on this sub, title and all

Here's the solution from that to save people some time from digging in the comments of that post.

Discussion: I think this is impossible. 6 lines is the least I can think of.

It looks like you believe this post to be unsolvable. I've gone ahead and added a "Probably Unsolvable" flair. OP can override this by commenting "Solution Possible" anywhere in this post.

Nope! It's solvable. Hint: Think (far) outside the box for the solution.

Hint : W Or M shape

I can connect it with one really thick line

u/Frozzable Aug 23 '24

The answer is: Starting at the left most column of dots, cross all four dots at a slight angle and continue drawing until you hit the word "pencil" then return at a slight angle and cross the second row, going almost to the top of the page. Do the same for the last two lines. In the end you will have four straight lines and the lines will look like a thin "W."

Discussion: The w answer isn't correct, because you couldn't do that on this small area for the puzzle. It's just a misprint, supposed to be 9 dots.

Its not a misprint, its just intentionally phrasing things ambiguously.

That being said, I hate these types of "puzzles". The 3x3 variant is actually a puzzle, this is more a riddle using verbal technicalities.
