Goal: Draw a line that passes through all 9 squares.

The rules were:

  1. The line must pass through all 9 squares.
  2. The line must be contiguous.
  3. There can be as many line segments as you wish.
  4. Each line segment must start and stop on a node.
  5. The total length cannot exceed 4 units.

Each node is 0.25 units from its four neighbors.

The solution above is the closet that I could find. It has a total length of 4.02 units.
