Brain Teaser that is impossibly solvable

[light_bulb]

i have a new one with all lines but it adds up to 17? maybe unsolvable

Nope... you missed a side. It is impossible!

I'd second that.

Why doesn't someone make a computer program to see if its solvable? might be easier and it could do calculations or attempts hundreds of times faster than us.

Because that would be entirely pointless, for as it has been said numerous times in this thread it is simply not possible.

This thing is like crack cocaine! I don't know what its called so I just call it Mind Crack. I've been doing this puzzle for about 6 months now and haven't figured it out. It was shown to me by a neighbor who says he's seen the answer but had been done on a computer. Whether that's true or not I do not know. Seeing as he's an alcoholic but still. If anyone has the true answer. Quit hiding it and reveil it! Because I am sure there is otehr people out there that are craving to know the answer!

Why don't you read the n posts above telling you that this is impossible! There's a proof of this in one of the early replies.

As has been said many, many times before (and proven once), this problem has no solutions. Therefore, it serves no purpose to continue to seek solutions to this problem and hence any discussion on the topic is also useless.
