SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the configuration of resistors in a circuit, specifically addressing the issue of wire crossings. It is established that the four resistors join at the center without crossing over, contrary to typical circuit diagrams that use shaded circles to indicate joining points. The conversation suggests that solving the circuit involves setting up simultaneous equations to analyze the current flow through the resistors.

It looks like the resistors do not cross at the center. Normally a joining point would have a shaded circle on it, but this isn't used elsewhere in the circuit, so it probably wasn't used at the center either.

So, I would take it that the 4 resistors join at the center and do not cross over.

Looks like a lot of simultaneous equations.
