sorry about the quality, uh.. I printed it off while turning off the computer, so I just filled in the rest with pencil.

edit: nm, I see an error

From what I understand the only way to solve this puzzle is to picture it in 3-D. Other than that I don't know if there's a solution.

For any who are still skeptical that there's no solution, I was bored last night and wrote a simple Python script to "solve" this.

Source is here:

Running it exhaustively goes through all the thousands and thousands of possible paths and doesn't come up with a solution within the rules given.

I can if I'm allowed to bend the image into 3-D, such that exiting a room enters the room...
But, in the spirit of solving the problem, such solutions would seem to be disallowed.

What if you took the paper and folded a piece onto its self? Is this allowed in the rules? The solution is trivial by folding it. Basically when you unfold the paper it looks like you lifted your pen off the paper but you never actually do. (I don't have anyway to scan in my hand drawing here.) Once its folded you are still drawing in 2-dimensions though and you pen never leaves the surface of the paper.

Working in the third dimension by folding gives you an extra degree of freedom (similiar to the guy poking a hole in the paper).

Its also similail to how a 'worm hole' in outer space would work. Instead with a worm hole 3-d space is folded onto its self instead of 2-D space being folded onto itsself.
