Not going to solve it but I'll give you a hint.
Most of the problems like this that I've seen instruct that you have to make X number of line segments (straight, no curves) and you can't lift your pen/pencil from the paper (so each is connected)
The hint is, have you considered drawing outside the box?
ie, Draw a line starting from somewhere, but ending OUTSIDE the diagram, then it goes back thru some sides and possibly ends up OUTSIDE the diagram.
That's usually the trick with these. It's really a test to see if you can consider all possibilities and think. Of course, I've now ruined that.

What are the rules?
If all we need to do is cross the lines it shouldn't be too hard..

Rules...
#1 all the "box" lines have to be crossed.
#2 "Box" lines cannot be crossed more than 2ce
Any help would be appreciated...and i've tried about 25 different times and i'm really frustrated.

Giving the answer is not helping, its doing it for you. We don't want to deprive you of the achievement of solving your own problems. If we did.. soon you'd never be able to look at a parking lot and think "hmm.. three lines and I could cross everything here once." And then what would you life be worth?!
