How would you write the vector loops and geometric constraints for this mechanism?

Here is an introduction to the method of vector loops :[/PLAIN] Link

The mechanism shown is so implausible that I'm not going to waste any time actually analysing it .

Is this a homework question ?

One thing I forgot to mention is that between link 4 and 5 is a p1 joint.
