However, the configuration of the 45 major bridges in Bristol is such that an Eulerian circuit exists. [15] This cycle has been popularized by a book [15] and news coverage [16] [17] and has featured in different charity events.

The Königsberg bridge problem is a mathematical challenge from the 18th century. [8] It asks to find a route that leads the walker across each of the seven historical bridges in the city of Königsberg such that each bridge is crossed exactly once.
The Königsberg Bridge problem The paper written by Leonhard Euler on the Seven Bridges of Königsberg and published in 1736 is regarded as the first paper in the history of graph theory. [ 20 ] This paper, as well as the one written by Vandermonde on the knight problem , carried on with the analysis situs initiated by Leibniz .

The bridge problem inspired the Bristol Bridges Walk. Like Konigsberg Bristol spans the two banks of a river and two river islands. The Bristol Bridges walk is an Eulerian cycle crossing all 45 major bridges in the city. It has been the subject of the several articles in newspapers and magazines, and there is a book about the walk.
Multigraphs of both Königsberg Bridges and Five room puzzles have more than two odd vertices (in orange), thus are not Eulerian and hence the puzzles have no solutions. Every vertex of this graph has an even degree. Therefore, this is an Eulerian graph. Following the edges in alphabetical order gives an Eulerian circuit/cycle.
"It's a perfect example of something that is in the public interest," John Marion Jr., executive director of Common Cause Rhode Island, said Thursday about the Washington Bridge emails.
