A little humour for your day

although I do see now the change to the green line doesn't have the north wall of the south west room covered
 
I’m starting to question if I’m being punked here, it is literally right in the middle plain as day😀

If you have to hit every section with a red dot then yes he missed a section. If the red dots don’t mean anything than that portion of the wall is already covered by the line thru it to the right.

Correct. The instructions don't say anything about the red dot and to me, its just there to try and trick and confuse you. The wording is pretty clear to me with the intent of what I tried to do but even with following my approach to solving the problem, I am indeed at a point where I don't think its possible.
 
If you can just follow lines and count that as thru then just follow the outline and cut in like this. I’m on my phone and have fat fingers so the blue line follows inside the outside wall.

nope. i have the north wall of the south center room covered and the south wall of the northeast room covered.
Red dots indicate the walls. If, by your understanding, you went through each wall, grats. If you plan to pass through each wall noted by the red dots, then no you didn't pass.

Your understanding has each junction fitting your description. However, you passed through those walls individually. Same meaning.
Example, following your understanding, each outer wall is one wall and not two.

The puzzle is based on passing through each wall. The red dots note each wall you must pass through, per the, "5 room puzzle".

It's a mind bender that, as I mentioned initially, will dominate an eraser and eat lead faster than an MP5. 🤣

so you need to just redo your instructions then. just say "pass through each red dot" rather than even describe a wall.
 
Okay, @wllm and fellow HT sage ladies and gentlemen, brain your way through this - and no, corner crossing is not permissible ;) I remember this from grade school and, pre internet, hadn't learned my efforts were likely in vain. It certainly kept my noggin engaged. Haha! I'm sure, at one time or another, many of us wasted numerous sheets of school paper and pencils - and erasers! No Internet cheating.

The object of the puzzle is to draw a continuous path through the walls of all 5 rooms, without going through any wall twice, and without crossing any path. The path can, of course, end in any room, not necessarily in the room from where it started.

Can I “corner cross” without someone claiming I went through a wall twice?

That's actually the only recognized solution claiming that if you pass through the point where all walls meet, you are passing through all 4 at the same time.

I guess there is the lame solution too that nothing says its a 2d problem and in a 3d world, it's very easy to solve without passing through your path

The Five Room House is actually a classic example of an impossible puzzle — one that bears no positive solution. In this particular case, the solution consists in finding that the problem has no solution! (remember: puzzles always have one, several or no solutions; see tips to puzzle solving)
