8. Knight's Tour. Here's a clever way to see how hard it is to find a Hamiltonian circuit in a graph. On a regular 8x8 chessboard, find a tour of a knight that visits each square exactly once and comes back to its starting position. Recall that a knight moves in a 2x1 L shape. Can a knight make a Hamiltonian tour on a 5x5 chessboard? How about a 4x4 chessboard? Make a conjecture as to the size of square chessboards on which a knight can completely tour.
