Ok, i am going crazy, along with about 8 other kids trying to figure this riddle out. i have tried it for multiple hours and have even searched online to no avail. i dont know how easy it is to explain online, but its worth a shot.

Draw 6 dots, in 2 rows of 3
X X X

X X X

Now, the object is to connect att 3 botton dots, to all 3 top dots(so each individual X on the bottom has to connect to every X on top). The thing is, lines cannot intersect. If it needs further explanation let me know, but help a brother out. It seems easy, but its not.

i don't understand. how are you supposed to connect them? is there a certain way you're supposed to do it. can't you just draw a line straight up to the one above it or something?

the lines can be curvy and huge if you want. since each bottom X has to be connected to every X on top, BUT THEY CANT INTERSECT. so yes, you can draw straight lines, but in order to complete it lines would cross. the thing is i have been shown the answer before, like back in the days of middle school, and now its driving me mad!
