Line Puzzle

Some of my friends are taking Psychology and they were given this problem to try. None of us can figure it out, and the teacher isnt accepting any loopholes. Any ideas?

Apparently you have to trace it although we are not certain. One kid "got it" last semester though we think he may be lying to cover up the fact that it is impossible.

are you saying we can't cross any of the lines that are given and also do we have to stay inside the figure and alsoo does the line we draw have to be straight even though i think that is the definition

We can only go over the lines with an X ONCE

-You have the keep on the line (Hence, Tracing)

You wouldn't get very far staying on the line

That's what I was hoping for. I just want to know if anyone has seen it before on a test or anything.

I've seen it. Majoring in psychology atm. Pretty sure from what I remember it's unsolvable. Especially when you have to trace it, The version I know of you don't have to trace the lines.

If its wrong then my reading comprehension really sucks, you're supposed to cross every line once right?

Could this be it? the lines I made are supposed to be straight so you stay on the lines already drawn and thus only touch it once

It's a bit like this one.

Connect each house with all three dots, without the lines crossing eachother. You can't go through the dot or house either.

to me it looks like it says you are not supposed to trace over the lines, dunno how you all think it says your supposed to trace it.
