leadership roles in the new world. Which of you would
take which role?

Activity 5: Euler Puzzles
Euler puzzles are geometric
puzzles which challenge you
to trace along all of the lines,
without lifting the pen from the
paper and tracing each line
only once.

Can you try this one?

Try to draw it first with a pencil

and then with a marker. Don't
trace any line more than once!

(Note: Some of them are

impossible. Tell me which
ones.)
Euler Puzzle #2

The first one was easy,

right? What about this
one? Still easy?

(Or is it impossible?)
Euler Puzzle #3

Looks easy, but it's not

so easy.

Can it be done? Or is it
impossible?
Euler Puzzle #4

Now this one is easy...

Euler Puzzle #5

Easy!
Euler Puzzle #6

Easy.
Euler Puzzle #7

Looks very difficult.

Can it be done?
Euler Puzzle #8

Don't even try this

one...
Euler Puzzle #9

It's got something to do

with where you start...
Euler Puzzle #10

Same applies here –

where you start
makes all the
difference. Assuming
it can be done...
Euler Puzzle #11

Like I said, assuming it

can be done...
Euler Puzzle #12

It would be a pity to
end with one that's
impossible...
