Similar case with you also happened -> Circuit Analysis Question Has Me Stumped

It started as the OP was confused with this ...



Moved the layout here and there ..


Moral story, especially for beginner, don't be scared by weird layout.  :P
TheN00b:
I'll do my best to not be scared. Can't guarantee much though. Lol

LOL .. yeah, it will take a while, practice frequently will make it feels natural, trust me.

One thing for sure, now you've learned or at least realized on how NOT to draw a schematic that sucks.  :P

 :-+ to BravoV on both diagrams.  That sort of presentation does make it easier to 'get it' ... and once you do understand, your ability to see these things will improve as your experience grows.

This has also been a lesson in shuffling the physical layout around without changing the circuit.  You may hear the word 'topology' mentioned when doing this sort of thing.
IanMacdonald:
Interesting point is that some of these resistor networks are solvable, some are not, or are incredibly difficult to solve. For example an extra resistor between the junctions of R2/R3 and R6/R7 turns this into an entirely different proposition.
