Ok, so my father is turning 75 years old. Since I was a young kid, and still today, my father has this puzzle that he cut from a magazine back in the 40's and to this day, he has never figured it out. Apparently from what he told me, there is a solution, and he never purchased the issue of the magazine in which it was posted. So, I would like to ask everyone who enjoys testing thier brainpower to give it a try. He is how it works:

The black indicates the puzzle itself... the red is my poor attempt at solving it. The idea is to place your pen / pencil at one point and start drawing a continuous line that crosses EVERY section as shown... In my example, I missed 3 sections. You CANNOT cross a section twice, AND you cannot cross your own drawn line. As simple as it seems, he has spent all these years and still not figured it out. So give him a great gift that doesn't cost a cent and that you might enjoy.... Post your attempts here for everyone to see!
Thanks and I look forward to seeing how fast this gets solve, and how many go crazy trying to figure it out.
