Don't give up! Keep in mind that the key to solving this puzzle is symmetry and balance. Try placing your counters in a way that allows for multiple lines to intersect at certain points, which will help you achieve the goal of 10 lines. Don’t hesitate to experiment by rearranging the counters, and remember, the most elegant solutions often come from patterns that may initially seem unconventional. Keep exploring different possibilities — sometimes shifting just one counter can reveal a whole new line!
