To solve this problem, we need to plot the given coordinates on the grid and connect them in order. The instructions say to "start a new line when you see 1,01". Looking at the list of points, the pair `(1, 1)` appears multiple times. This acts as a "pen up" command, meaning you stop drawing the current shape and move to the next starting point without drawing a line between them.
Let's break down the shapes by grouping the points between each `(1, 1)`.
Shape 1: The Head/Body Base
Points: `(1, 1)`, `(2, 3)`, `(4, 3)`, `(5, 4)`, `(6, 3)`, `(8, 3)`, `(9, 1)`, `(7, 1)`, `(6, 2)`, `(4, 2)`, `(3, 1)`, `(1, 1)`
* Start at `(1, 1)`.
* Go up to `(2, 3)` and across to `(4, 3)`.
* Up to peak `(5, 4)`.
* Down to `(6, 3)` and across to `(8, 3)`.
* Down to `(9, 1)`.
* Left to `(7, 1)`, up to `(6, 2)`, left to `(4, 2)`, down to `(3, 1)`.
* Back to start `(1, 1)`.
*
Result: This draws a symmetrical shape that looks like a crown or the top part of a character with two "ears" or horns.
Shape 2: The Right Eye
Points: `(1, 1)`, `(3, 5)`, `(4, 5)`, `(3, 6)`, `(1, 1)`
* Move to `(3, 5)`.
* Draw a small triangle connecting `(3, 5)`, `(4, 5)`, and `(3, 6)`.
*
Result: A small triangle eye on the right side.
Shape 3: The Left Eye
Points: `(1, 1)`, `(6, 5)`, `(7, 5)`, `(6, 6)`, `(1, 1)`
* Move to `(6, 5)`.
* Draw a small triangle connecting `(6, 5)`, `(7, 5)`, and `(6, 6)`.
*
Result: A matching triangle eye on the left side.
Shape 4: The Mouth
Points: `(1, 1)`, `(3, 2)`, `(4, 2)`, `(5, 3)`, `(6, 2)`, `(7, 2)`, `(1, 1)`
* Move to `(3, 2)`.
* Draw a zig-zag line: `(3, 2)` → `(4, 2)` → `(5, 3)` (up) → `(6, 2)` → `(7, 2)`.
*
Result: A jagged mouth or smile in the center.
Shape 5: The Right Arm/Leg
Points: `(1, 1)`, `(10, 2)`, `(11, 1)`, `(10, 0)`, `(9, 1)`, `(1, 1)`
* Move to `(10, 2)`.
* Draw a diamond/kite shape connecting `(10, 2)`, `(11, 1)`, `(10, 0)`, and `(9, 1)`.
*
Result: A limb sticking out to the right.
Shape 6: The Left Arm/Leg
Points: `(1, 1)`, `(0, 2)`, `(-1, 1)`, `(0, 0)`, `(1, 1)`
* Move to `(0, 2)`. Note: The x-axis goes into negative numbers on the left.
* Draw a diamond/kite shape connecting `(0, 2)`, `(-1, 1)`, `(0, 0)`, and `(1, 1)`.
*
Result: A limb sticking out to the left.
Conclusion:
When you combine all these parts—the crown-like head, two triangular eyes, a zig-zag mouth, and two diamond-shaped limbs—you get a picture of a
monster or an
alien.
Final Answer:
The connected dots create a picture of a
monster (or alien).
