values. If I V I is odd, then the repeated value is unique.)
- Prove that a graph is connected if and only if every two-part partition of the vertices
of the graph has an edge with ends in both parts of the partition. - Using the picture of the bridges connecting the two islands in the middle of the Seine
in Paris, describe a trail that takes you over each bridge exactly once. See the comment

A table of risk factors is given for each possible direct communication link. What
