connect the twelve points above :

without raising your pen(cil)
in 5 straight lines
ending on the first point( making it a closed circuit)
without going thru any point twice ( but the lines can cross each other)

[phoaupkari]

yes please do

 

[asdasd]

Couldnt get it either..

Tried various starting points...
Was able to cover all points..but not bring it to the starting point..

 

[Phas Gaya]

Kinda seems impossible to me...without a cheating trick ofcourse.
I have a lot of solutions which cover all the points...but can't get it to end at the starting point.
