This makes my brain hurt...

Are you up for a real challenge? Or maybe just a humbling experience?

Planarity has just what you need. It features mind-bending planar graphs. Planar graphs are diagrams that can be drawn with no intersecting lines. You’ll need your thinking cap on to play this game.

Planarity displays planar graphs that have been jumbled up. You must move the points so that the lines which join them don't intersect.
First couple of levels are easy enough...then...there are just far too many blue dots on the screen...

Enjoy!

Good brain toy!

I stopped in the middle of level nine, when I realized that they aren't getting more challenging, just more time consuming. Lots and lots of fun, but time consuming nonetheless.

Its funny. Once you figure out the trick to them, they're plenty easy. My grandfather, who was a jeweler, used to pacify any noisy and rambunctious children around him by giving them tangled gold chains to untangle. It doesn't take long before you realize you've aquired a skill for life.

That's what I noticed as well.

There's a trick to it... once you figure it out, it just takes time.
