59121- graph theory

[Katya]

http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/59121/

I seriously want to ask a follow-up question to this question that says "I am a traveling salesman. I need to visit every town in a region once, but cover as short a distance as possible. Has this problem ever been studied?"

That question made me laugh, because Graph Theory was actually my favorite math class that I took at BYU. But reading the answer made me realize that I don't actually remember any of it, ten years later. Except that I enjoyed it. (I did know the answer was graph theory when I read the question, but I could not have remembered how it worked.)

Katya,
I really almost did that when I first saw the question.

Great minds, my friend.


Dear 100 Hour Board,

I have a cat who is stuck in a box with a radioactive isotope . . .

I hope I didn't sound like I was making fun of you or saying you were dumb. Sometimes you get a perfect match between a question and a Board writer, and this question + CPM (or Yellow) was one of those times.
