These seriously tricky dot puzzles will drive you mad… but do you have the skills to solve it?

A seemingly simple puzzle game for kids proves extremely challenging to everyone trying to solve it, but can you get top marks?

Playbuzz’s version of the connect-the-dots classic leaves adults scratching their heads, as only one in five people can successfully find all the answers.

                The Playbuzz quiz has proven difficult for many people as only 1 in 5 people can successfully solve all the answers.

Puzzle creator Julie Richmond asks contestants to connect rows of circles using a fixed number of straight lines in a ‘dot sudoku’ style game.

She says that if participants can’t pass more than one of the five tests, then they need to “brush up their geometry and math skills.”

But, if you can successfully solve two or three out of five, then you are actually in the “top 80 percent” of those who participate.

And if you can solve four or all five puzzles, then you are officially a “puzzle genius.”

So give it a try and see how well you do.

                The first puzzle asks you to connect the nine dots using four straight lines.
