Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Talk:Khorasan (Islamist group), as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Epicgenius (talk) 13:13, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thinking outside the box: dubious template
If you are going to add the dubious template please be sure to take the time to explain yourself on the talk page (or at least in the template itself).

At first I thought you didn't believe that the picture was of a solution to the nine dot puzzle, but after some though I believe that it is more likely you had trouble thinking outside the box and didn't believe that there are 'many' solutions.

I thought it was funny, kind of ironic, so I thought I would take the time and write you a little note and explain. There are many ways to connect the dots with four lines, e.g. the one depicted in the article, and there are also ways to connect all dots with 3 lines. These are pretty straightforward but there are many many more solutions, you just need to think outside the box.

how many solutions are there to the nine dot puzzle? how many is considered "many"?
Dog-Patch Zero-Six (talk) 20:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * "Many" is an indeterminately large amount. If you really "think outside the box" you can choose specific definitions that allow for infinite solutions to the nine dot problem. E.g. If a unique solution is defined by a set of lines, then a new solution can be created from a known solution by linearly extending one of the lines by 1 and this can be repeated to have a infinitely large set of solutions.
 * If you are get really creative you could even create a system of accounting that allows for negative or anti-lines. Captain Kirk is know for thinking outside the box by reprogramming the test (see Kobayashi_Maru)
