PHB: "That's it. Now you've confused everyone. So what exactly is stopping us from doing this?"<p>Anderson the Engineer: "Geometry."<p>Client: "Just ignore it."<p>PHB: "We have a task. Seven red lines. It's not 20. It's just seven! Anderson I understand you're a specialist of a narrow field; you don't see the overall picture. But surely it's not a difficult task to draw some seven lines."<p>Walter the PM: "Exactly! Suggest a solution. Now, any fool can criticize --no offense-- but, you're an expert. You should know better."<p>It's a shame that this will die in "new" submissions. Because it's fuckin' hilarious.
Solution:<p>Use red paper.<p>Draw the straight lines in parallel to one another then fold the paper diagonally so all lines cross all lines.<p>Draw the transparent lines with transparent ink (e.g. an ink corrector pen).<p>Using a green pen draw long thin boxes; i.e. outline of the resulting red lines.<p>Kittens / birds: have it in the shape of a kitten or bird approaching a blackhole (spaghettification) - or draw in a straight line whilst moving the paper to create the shape / do some really creative folding.<p>Kitten Balloon - put the deflated balloon into a (small) kitten shaped mould and blow it up in there (leaving it in) - or pose as a kitten whilst inflating the balloon (so you're inflating it in the shape of a kitten, rather than the inflated balloon being in the shape of a kitten).<p>Or...
