Visual Puzzles

The first puzzle I chose was to draw 3 squares without lifting my pencil. I had my boyfriend try out the puzzle with me.
The first thing I did was to start from the top left and move to the right. I followed the outline of the squares until I reached the bottom part. When I got to the interior I had to look and plan my path. My first attempt wasn't successful because I realized that I would cross a line. My second attempt would be successful, by accident. I went to the right, then up, left and then mirrored what I had done. I eventually made it back to the upper left hand corner without going over any other lines.
My boyfriend made several attempts to solve this puzzle. First thing he tried was to start at the upper left hand corner, but instead of moving to the left, he went down. When attempting the interior he drew to the right, up, left, then down. He mirrored what he had done, but went up.

The second game we played was the "Next Square" game. We both got the same answer by noticing that the boxes with the lines really formed numbers 1-5.
