Can you make a crooked line with a straight ruler?

Question

Why/how is this possible?

Answer 1

If the straight ruler has no solid base or solid foundation, the resulting line will always be crooked....

Answer 2

yes, why? because i'm very talented. how? by moving and turning the ruler very fast.

Answer 3

If the table is moving underneath you, I guess it could.

Answer 4

Yes, if you take Einstein's theory of relativety into consideration.

Answer 5

Wow, that's a good one.  I think definitely you can (and I don't mean lifting the ruler for a second stroke). If you are plotting say a bell curve (and I am shamelessly lame in math) or say Pluto's (do we still call it pluto and is it still considered a planet?) elliptical orbit around the sun any attempt to render it w/ a straight ruler would be considered "crooked" (I think.)

Answer 6

you must have stepped into the 4th dimention.

Answer 7

well if the ruler has dents init like mine

Answer 8

why not?????????  at first make your paper as crocked(zig-zag)

then pull line from your straight ruler...that's yet.

Answer 9

yes, move the ruler every once in a while, are u serious?

Answer 10

Yes, you make one line going one way and extend it with lines going in different angles and then you have a crooked line.

Answer 11

if the ruler was crooked  then yes

Answer 12

You move the ruler while drawing a line

Answer 13

if the ruler moves. it would need to be mounted down in order for the line to be straight
