	\section{Instant Insanity}

	The puzzle you have in front of you is called {\it Instant Insanity}.

	It consists of four cubes, with faces colored with four colors:
	red, blue, green, and white. The objective is to put the cubes in a row
	so that each side, front, back, upper, and lower,
	of the row shows each of the four colors. \\

	\begin{center}
	\includegraphics[width=2.2in]
	{II.jpg}
	\end{center}

	There are 41,472 different arrangements
	of the cubes. Only one is a solution.
	Finding it by trial and error is quite difficult,
	but we have witnessed a few students
	do just that.

	However, that rarely happens.
	We'd like to solve this puzzle today, and
	to do that, we'll need a few tools.

	\section{Cubic Nets}

	A {\it cubic net} is a 2D picture
	simultaneously showing all the six sides
	(a.k.a.~faces) of a 3D cube,
	please take a look at the examples below. \\

	\begin{center}
	\begin{tikzpicture} [scale = .3]
	\draw [line width = 1.5pt] (0,0) -- (12,0) --
	(12,3) -- (0,3) -- (0,0);
	\draw [line width = 1.5pt] (6,-3) --
	(9,-3) -- (9,6) -- (6,6) -- (6,-3);
	\draw [line width = 1.5pt] (3,0) -- (3,3);

	\draw [line width = 1.5pt] (21,0) -- (33,0) --
	(33,3) -- (21,3) -- (21,0);
	\draw [line width = 1.5pt] (24,0) --
	(24,6) -- (27,6) -- (27,0);
	\draw [line width = 1.5pt] (27,0) --
	(27,-3) -- (30,-3) -- (30,3);
	\end{tikzpicture}
	\end{center}

	\problem{}
	Draw a cubic net different from the two above.

	\problem{}
	An ant wants to crawl from point $A$ of a cubic room
	to the opposite point $B$, as in the picture below.

	\begin{center} \begin{small}
	\begin{tikzpicture}
	\draw (1,1) -- (4,1) -- (4,4) -- (1,4) -- (1,1);
	\draw (0,0) -- (3,0) -- (3,3) -- (0,3) -- (0,0);
	\draw (0,0) -- (1,1);
	\draw (3,0) -- (4,1);
	\draw (0,3) -- (1,4);
	\draw (3,3) -- (4,4);
	\filldraw (0,0) circle (3pt);
	\filldraw (4,4) circle (3pt);
	\coordinate [label=below left:{A}] (a) at (0,0);
	\coordinate [label=above right:{B}] (b) at (4,4);
	\end{tikzpicture}
	\end{small} \end{center}

	The insect can crawl on any surface,
	a floor, ceiling, or wall, but cannot fly through the air.
	Find at least two different shortest paths for the ant
	(there is more than one).

	Let's look at the nets of the puzzle's cubes. \\

	\section{Graphs}

	\begin{tcolorbox}[
		colback=white,
		colframe=gray!75!black,
		title={Last week's lesson}
	]
		A \textit{graph} is a collection of nodes (vertices) and connections between them (edges). If an edge $e$ connects the vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$, then we write $e = {v_i, v_j}$. An example is below.

		\begin{center}
		\begin{tikzpicture} [scale = .6] \label{pic:1}
			\SetGraphUnit{5}
			\Vertex{B}
			\WE(B){A}
			\EA(B){C}
			\Edge(B)(A)
			\Edge(C)(B)
			\tikzset{EdgeStyle/.append style = {bend left = 50}}
			\Edge(A)(C)
			\Edge(C)(A)
			\coordinate [label=above:{$e_1$}] (e1) at (-2.1,.0);
			\coordinate [label=above:{$e_2$}] (e2) at (0,2.45);
			\coordinate [label=below:{$e_3$}] (e3) at (0,-2.5);
			\coordinate [label=above:{$e_4$}] (e4) at (2.1,.0);
		\end{tikzpicture}
		\end{center}

		More formally, a graph is defined by a set of vertices $\{v_1, v_2, ...\}$, and a set of edges $\{\ \{v_1, v_2\}, \{v_1, v_3\}, ...\ \}$.

		\medskip

		If the order of the vertices in an edge does not matter,
		a graph is called {\it undirected}. A graph is called
		a {\it directed graph} if the order of the vertices does matter.
		For example, the (undirected) graph above
		has three vertices, $A$, $B$, and $C$, and four edges,
		$e_1 =\{A,B\}$, $e_2 = \{A,C\}$, $e_3 = \{A,C\}$,
		and $e_4 = \{B,C\}$.

	\end{tcolorbox}


	Let's represent Cube 1 by a graph. \\
	The vertices will be the face colors: Blue, Green, Red, and White, so $V = \{B,G,R,W\}$. \\
	Two vertices are be connected by an edge if and only if the corresponding faces are opposing each other on the cube. \\
	Cube 1 has the following edges: $e_1 = \{B,R\}$, $e_2 = \{G,W\}$, and the loop $e_3 = \{R,R\}$. To emphasize that all the three edges represent the first cube, let us mark them with the number $1$. \\

	Check if the above representation
	is correct for Cubes 3 and 4.
	\vfill
	\pagebreak

	With the help of the above graph,
	solving the puzzle becomes as easy
	as a walk in the park, literally.
	Imagine that the vertices of the above graph
	are the clearings and the edges are the paths.
	An edge marked by the number $i$ represents
	two opposing faces of the $i$-th cube.
	Let us try to find a closed walk, a.k.a.~a cycle,
	in the graph that visits each clearing once
	and uses the paths marked by the different numbers,
	$i=1,2,3,4$. If we order the front and rear sides
	of the cubes accordingly,
	then the front and rear of the stack
	will show all the four different colors
	in the order prescribed by our walk. \\

		For example, here is such an (oriented) cycle,
	represented by the magenta arrows
	on the picture below. \\

		Now the front and rear of the stack are done.
	If we manage to find a second oriented cycle

	of the first cycle, but uses none of its edges,
	we would be able to do the upper and lower sides
	of the stack and to complete the puzzle.
	Using the edges we have already traversed
	during our first walk will mess up

	\section{Euler characteristic}

		Let $G$ be a planar graph,
	drawn with no edge intersections.
	The edges of $G$ divide the plane into regions,
	called {\it faces}. The regions
	enclosed by the graph are called
	the {\it interior faces}.
	The region surrounding the graph is called
	the {\it exterior (or infinite) face}.
	The faces of $G$ include both the interior faces
	and the exterior one. For example,
	the following graph has two interior faces,

	more than once.

	What is the Euler characteristic
	of a finite tree?

	\theorem{}<eu_char>
	Let a finite connected planar graph have
	$V$ vertices, $E$ edges, and $F$ faces.
	Then $V - E + F = 2$.

	\problem{}
	Prove Theorem \ref{eu_char}.
	Hint: removing an edge from a cycle
	does not change the number of vertices
	and reduces the number of edges and faces
	by one.
