Want to try your skills at a data visualization puzzle? Planarity has you rearranging the vertices with the goal of making sure none of the connecting lines intersect. I’m showing you level three. Trust me, it gets harder from there. (My solution to this level is shown in my flickr account.) This is an especially fun game if you have a TabletPC.

Just finished Level 5. This is like an evil game of untangling Christmas lights. What have you wrought?
Okay – three questions:
1. WHO turned you on to this little terror?
2. WHY does this person hate me?
3. WHY is there a Level 11? There should not BE a Level 11! It should have the grace to STOP at Level 10 like any reasonable game would do!
Stopped somewhere in the middle of Level 13. I don’t understand the scoring system, but it was at around 1800. I am literally seeing spots now….
darn it! M, why did you have to show this to my mum?!? now I’M hooked! this is heck!
