THE picture above shows the River Pregel as it flowed through the town of Konigsberg in the 18th century. As you cas see, there was an island in the middle and seven bridges crossing the river. The citizens of Konigsberg used to enjoy strolling across the river via one of its many bridges and one of themposed this puzzle to the great mathematician, Leonard Euler: "Is it possible to start from a point of your own choice, and cross each of the bridges without going over any bridge twice?"What do you think Euler's answer was?
