Problem 41
A sports conference has 11 teams. It was proposed that each team play precisely one game against each of exactly nine other conference teams. Prove that this proposal is impossible to implement.
Problem 49
Give an example of a connected graph such that the removal of any edge results in a graph that is not connected. (Assume that removing an edge does not remove any vertices.)
Problem 51

Problem 52
Draw a precedence graph for each computer program. \(x=1\) \(y=2\) \(z=y+2\) \(w=x+5\) \(x=z+w\)
Problem 56
Give an example of a graph with six vertices that has exactly two articulation points.
Problem 62
Show that there is a de Bruijn sequence for every \(n=1,2, \ldots\)
Problem 64
How many paths of length \(k \geq 1\) are there in \(K_{n} ?\)
Problem 69
Let \(G\) be a graph. Define a relation \(R\) on the set \(V\) of vertices of \(G\) as \(v R w\) if there is a path from \(v\) to \(w\). Prove that \(R\) is an equivalence relation on \(V\).
Problem 73
