Can you complete this little teaser?

One for you smart people out there...

You have 9 zero's, in the shape of a box (ignore the dots in between) see below. Take your pencil and using only 4 straight lines (not curved) join all 9 zero's together. You MUST NOT take your pencil of the paper. If you know how to do this, just post I know it to give the others a chance, as this might make a few people irritated trying to do it. lol

If you dont take your pencil off the paper isnt that counted as 1 long straight line?

[john]

No, you have to without taking the pencil off the paper draw one line, then change angle to draw the second and so on until you have drawn 4 stright lines, and this should join all of the zero up.

can you do it?

Yes. You see I didn’t say you can't go out of the box. Most people assume that you have to stay within the boundary of the box.

This is an "out of the box" puzzle, it shows who can thing out of it and is able to push the rules, not so much that they break but bend to achieve the result needed.
