Seven Bridges of Königsberg

ID: seven-bridges-of-konigsberg

Model the four land regions by vertices and the seven bridges by distinct edges: two , two , and one each of . Their vertex degrees are . Leonhard Euler's paper records these connections in §6 and the obstruction in §9; §20 states the zero-or-two odd-region rule. Four odd vertex degrees exclude an Eulerian trail, even if returning to the starting vertex is optional.[ref]
