Without lifting your pencil from start to finish, draw 4 line segments through all 7 dots. The solution has nothing to do with how wide the dots are or the possibility that the lines determined by the dots are not parallel. The dots are mathematically defined-they have no width, and they determine sets of parallel lines.
