Imagine that the picture shown below is an overhead view of the layout of five rooms in a very strange house. The reason that this house is so strange is that every room has a doorway on every single wall. Your task is to find a continuous path that passes through every doorway exactly once.

The image below is an example of an unsuccessful attempt to solve this problem. The path shown in the diagram passes through every doorway except for one. There is no way to reach the final doorway without passing through one of the doorways twice!

Hint: To make it easier, just copy - paste the image onto paint, erase the previous blue lines, and have fun figuring it out!
P.S. If you do figure this out, please share! I've tried almost every possible way and I still can't figure it out. Thanks!
