Try to trace a route around it that does either of the following:
  1. Traces over each of the line segments exactly once; or
  2. Goes into, then out of, each of the dots exactly once.

I'll wait.

LOL - You're circle is upside down. The next time my little niece is drawing I have to tell her that! She'll be scratching her head for hours.

First, the side of the Pentagon (pentagram) was broken, releasing the beast. Now this.

By the way, there are hidden microphones in every Proctor and Gamble product, so watch what you say in the laundry room.....

Ah, but both parties display three stars.
Heads and tails on the same coin?
Elephant heads, donkey tails.

Both stars are right-side up.

You have the donkey printed upside-down - it should be flat on it's back with it's feet in the air.

Actually, both are impossible and I can prove it.

The first is easy to show. If you want to go over every line segment, you'll have to go in and out of a dot. Impossible because there are three line segments touching each dot. You can go in, come out, but once you go in again, you are stuck.

The second is harder to show. But it's impossible, too. The figure is called the Petersen graph.

'Cause it's cooler. :-)

Next question: why does the Democrat donkey wear bell bottoms?

So are you saying that the word/name "Lucifer" is of Roman origin?

Yes,

----------------------

Lucifer (l¡´se-fer) noun

1. The archangel cast from heaven for leading the revolt of the angels; Satan.

2. The planet Venus in its appearance as the morning star.

[Middle English, from Old English, morning star, Lucifer, from Late Latin Lúcifer, from Latin, morning star, light-bringer : lúx, lúc-, light + -fer, -fer.]

----------------------

It mean literally, light-bringer, because when venus is visible in the morning sky, it precedes the sunrise.

I'm not sure how the word got connected to Satan. Again, I think this was just invented by Dante or some other author at a much later date.

The Romans were famous for adapting others histories into their own

The early Christians as well. That's why we celebrate Christmas in December. Since no one knows on what date Jesus was born, that date was chosen, in part, to take steam out of pagan celebrations concerning the winter solstice.

As a professional photographer;the reason three stars are used is because it is more pleasing to the human brain. It makes sense to us,and easier to process.

If when you look through a magazine,see if you don't notice that 3 of anything is used, flowers,people,settings. Its the same reason that watch manufacturers use the time 10:10,its more pleasing to the eye.
