Puzzle

Writing a comment just now I was reminded of Mu Alpha Theta, an honor society for high school students who like math and have decided that they don't get beat up enough as it is. Their site has a a puzzle page, from which this was taken.


Here is a map of the newly discovered cities and waterways on our nearest neighbor planet, Mars. Start at the city marked with T, at the south pole, and see if you can spell a complete English sentence by making a tour of all the cities, visiting each city only once, and returning to the starting point.

When this puzzle originally appeared in a magazine, more than fifty thousand readers reported "There is no possible way." Yet it is a very simple puzzle.

I'll cut down a perfectly good tree in honor of the first person to either solve it, or who is industrious enough to go to the site and look up the solution.
