Now at least 1cm away fromt the outer edge drawer 3 lines that follow the edge of the circle, make sure you leave an even gap between the lines. Your drawing should now look like you've got one circle inside a broken circle. Now do the same thing with 3 lines on the inside of the circle, but draw these lines where the gaps are in the outer circle.

This -is- a tricky part of the game, but a diagram really can work wonders. One north-south and one inner or outer line are the broken ones. I can suggest a few steps in creating the drawing:

1. Make circles or hexagons to represent the west and east sides.
2. Fly around the Corolis and label six points on each circle with the proper name and number. BE CLEAR ABOUT WHERE NORTH IS. Also, indicate where the broken lines are.
3. Look at that broken line on one of the two sides. You clearly cannot use it, and you have to alternate sides, so you can now pencil in lines on the east and west sides.
4. Now look at the other broken line. You have to alternate between outer and inner lines, while avoiding that line. Pencil in those lines, and now that you have a diagram of the points, you can follow the directions you just wrote down and solve this particularly ingenious/devious puzzle.

Hope this helps!
