degree value. (Hint: If I V I is even, then the repeated degree can have two possible
values. If I V I is odd, then the repeated value is unique.)


  1. 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.

  2. 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
    about multigraphs in Section 6.8.

  1. Prove that if a tree has a vertex of degree p, then it has at least p vertices of degree
    one.


12. Agents A, B, C, D, E, F G, and H are embroiled in a conspiracy called the Bucknell-

gate Affair. To coordinate their cover-up efforts, each conspirator must be able to com-
municate with each other either directly or indirectly (through another conspirator).
A table of risk factors is given for each possible direct communication link. What
is the least total possible risk while still meeting the requirements for communica-
tion?
