So Macro. Duh.

I feel kind of stupid for just having figured this out. I didn't even figure it out on my own.

Bottom line: There is a macro setting on my Canon Powershot (digital camera) that means I can take close-ups and pictures of small things in great detail. I'd always been content (though sad) at fuzzy pictures before. The macro setting is awesome! It's so great! I'll have to show you later when I upload the picture.

I read it somewhere, probably a Macworld article, that said something about a macro setting (a leaf or flower icon), and when I picked up my camera just now it occurred to me (the memory is a strange thing).

So anyway, if you didn't know that, be prepared to be soooo happy! If you already knew, you may laugh at me freely.

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -
it is the illusion of knowledge.

There's always stuff you don't know, even regarding a camera you've had for 3-4 years. Yup. (Go ahead, I'm laughing at myself.)

Silence is golden.

Often it's best to leave the last word to the other person. You don't always have to have an answer. Don't be afraid to admit you don't know, or look to someone else for advice or a hint. That saying, I'll move on.

The Truth REVEALED

Here is the solution (I did figure it out on my own, though it took a while!):

Later, I also found this solution with 3 strokes (in a magazine or something), but it's hard to get the lines right:

Fun, ne?

Think Outside the Box

This is a fun problem. Can you strike through all of the dots with only 4 straight lines in one continuous stroke?

For example, this doesn't work:

Good luck!

The pursuit of truth is like picking raspberries.
You miss a lot if you approach it from only one angle.
