Thinking Outside the Box!

The term ‘out of the box thinking’ originated from a solution to a puzzle where the goal is to join all nine dots with four straight lines without lifting your pen from the paper. The solution is to extend lines outside of this invisible perimeter, set by the arrangement of dots.

The challenge of connecting the dots requires unconventional thinking with a pinch of creativity, to approach it without seeing a boundary. Think you can solve it?
