straight line) in a way that it contains every circle and every circle is a breakpoint. The loop must not
touch and cross itself.

13. MAGNETS
The square is made up of manetic and non magnetic plates. Each magnetic plate has two halves:
positive (+) and negative (-). The halves of magnetic plates with the same charge cannot border on
any side as they repel each other, however their corners can touch. he numbers of positive and
negative charges in each line and colunm are marked. One magnetic plate has already been placed in
the diagram. Non-magnetic insulation plates are as big as the magnetic ones and are to be marked in
black. What is the positioning of all the magnetic plates in the diagram?
