The King and Knave of Hearts were playing a game of croquet. The Knave of Hearts went first and made a sensational hit that created a closed trajectory of 9 line segments. It is now the King’s turn and he is worried that he cannot possibly match the same sensational hit of the Knave’s move. Can he be lucky enough to cross all the 9 segments (of the hit created by the Knave) with one straight hit not passing through the vertices?
