Let us take an example of two islands with four rivers forming the surrounding water. There are fifteen bridges marked a, b, c, d, etc. across the water around the islands and the adjoining rivers. The question is whether a journey can be arranged that will pass over all the bridges but not over any of them more than once. What is the answer to Euler's question? If the "journey" is possible, describe it. If the "journey" is not possible, explain why not.

One of the teachers, Ms. Brewer, turned the discussion into a math lesson, and the students conducted a survey. Each child wrote down on paper which trip was his or her favorite. (Note that many children named more than one field trip as their favorite.) The survey revealed that 55 wrote down the trip to the river, 48 indicated the trip to the police station, and 38 included the trip to the hardware store. The police station and the river were chosen on 32 papers, 26 papers included both the river and the hardware store, and 22 children wrote down the police station and the hardware store on their papers.
