Line Segment (as defined by geometry): a line segment is the sum of all point on a line between two given endpoints

Depending on who wrote this problem, those points on the lines that are clearly shown may or may not be considered "end points"

oldaccount · 02-12-2009, 08:35 PM

ferrari missed top right corner segment.

nikki missed missed 2 in the middle.

so no, you didnt solve it.

I know, look at the post below the first one...

No, you didn't because you intersected the outer right line twice.

You don't know what a line segment is. Look at this plus sign:

+

an addition sign is created by two intersecting line segments not four. So, while your attempt at sarcasm is humorous, it's also wrong. So again, I already posted the correct solution as I intersected every line segment in the puzzle only once, with one continuous line.

Try gimp. i.e.

youre apparently confused as to what a segment is.

No, I'm not, from Wiki:

"In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points, and contains every point on the line between its end points."

The addition sign is created by two intersecting line segments.

Sarcasm isn't as funny as someone who really thinks everyone else is wrong.

Again, from Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_segment

"In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points, and contains every point on the line between its end points."

and I don't think everyone else is wrong in this case, just you.

oldaccount · 02-12-2009, 08:55 PM

if you think there are only 8 line segments in this puzzle then you completely are missing the point of the game. the perimeter of the yellow area has 9 segments alone. any 2nd grader could draw a continuous line through each one of the 'lines.'

Here's the answer. NO! See the points within that drawing. Everything between each point is a segment. It's a plain fact.

No... every point between the two endpoints is on the line segment, as per the definition of line segment, the endpoints are at the *gasp* end of the drawing. Two intersecting lines or line segments share a point by definition. Just because two lines intersect it does not by definition create a new line segment because the point at which the segments intersect was already a point on one of the existing line segments.

No... there are 8 line segments in the puzzle. That *is* the point to the puzzle. You've been tricked.

if thats the case then this game was designed for retards.

**Please note: An intersection between two elements (lines, arrays, etc) is defined as the two element having one or more components in common. A point constitutes an element in my case:

this works in the same way that a parabola with equation y=x^2 intersects the x axis at x=0

Sorry for the late edit...and forget wiki anything...

Straight from Webster:

Main Entry: 1seg·ment
Pronunciation: \ˈseg-mənt\
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin segmentum, from secare to cut — more at saw
Date: 1570
1: a portion cut off from a geometric figure by one or more points, lines, or planes: as a: the area of a circle bounded by a chord and an arc of that circle b: the part of a sphere cut off by a plane or included between two parallel planes c: the finite part of a line between two points in the line
2 a: a separate piece of something : bit , fragment <chop the stalks into short segments> b: one of the constituent parts into which a body, entity, or quantity is divided or marked off by or as if by natural boundaries <all segments of the population agree>

Sigh... the addition sign was merely a demonstrion. The point is this, line segments end at endpoints, if the line continues, its not an endpoint. You can divide a line segment into further line segments if you like, but the mere fact that one line intesects another doesn't compel you to. BTW, Webster's is probably not the best reference for geometrical definitions.

who came up with the terminologies in the task? a continuous line has the equation y=mx+b and is straight, rendering this number impossible.
