But they would be talking at the same time? You wouldn't be able to hear a thing...

I agree with you guys, that pic needed more people. In fact, they have to take a pic featuring every single actor who had a speaking line (and yes, plus David Prowse ) on all the 6 films, except those who passed away of course. Imagine what a great poster that would be!

You have to remember this question is not based on dots that are specks and have no width, it's based on practical dots and a practical pencil; both of which do have width. I have drawn the three line solution on paper before, so I know it is a perfectly practical solution.


Yes, but it's not mathematically accurate.

DanielB: nice answer... but the dots are supposed to have no size at all.

Even if the lines are thicker than the dots you can still achieve the answer I provided. That was simply the best way of drawing it on a PC.


Not really. The three dots are parallel to each other. If the dots have no width, then how can the line make a "turn" like that? Two paralel lines never cross each other... (i'm not sure i was completly clear now)

There was a lost rough cut of Star Wars found some years ago. It had deteriorated all to b&w and the soundtrack was lost. Running on aprox 2 hours and 20 minutes, it had lots of different footage, and was really slow paced, with a documentary feel into it. Featured the Biggs scene, Solo kissing the girl, Luke and threepio talking in the speeder (this can be seen on the DVD documentary), more scenes featuring Grand Moff Tarkin, more scenes featuring the Death Star escape, and most of the special effects were not done. The shots inside the Milenium Falcom were shot using rear-projection (the rear projection can be seen on the DVDs), which resulted on inferior quality.

From Wikipedia:

Complete inability to distinguish any colors is called monochromacy. It occurs in two forms: cone monochromacy, where only a single cone system appears to be functioning, so that no colors can be distinguished, but vision is otherwise more or less normal; and achromatopsia, or maskun, or rod monochromacy where the retina contains no cone cells, so that in addition to the absence of color discrimination, vision in lights of normal intensity is difficult.

While normally rare, complete color blindness (maskun) is very common in Pohnpei: about 1/12 of the population there has maskun.


It's really rare, only a small fraction of colorblind people have this condition. I remember reading about it some time ago.
