    7. The first and the third graphs are connected

    9. Bern to Frankfurt to Munchen to Berlin: 12hrs 50 min. (Though trip through Lyon, Paris and Amsterdam only adds 30 minutes)

    11. The first graph has an Euler circuit. The last two graphs each have two vertices with odd degree.

    13. One of several possible eulerizations requiring 5 duplications:
