Leonard Euler's Solution to the Konigsberg Bridge Problem (2006)

When I first saw this problem in elementary school, I went to look at an atlas to see if I could see the bridges (but couldn&#x27;t because the scale in an atlas was too large). I&#x27;m just blown away that today, not only can I find the map but I can look at the aerial view and go on virtual walks through the city and the bridges -- mere seconds after reading about it:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.ca&#x2F;maps&#x2F;place&#x2F;Kaliningrad,+Kaliningrad+Oblast,+Russia&#x2F;@54.7064027,20.502857,15z&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.ca&#x2F;maps&#x2F;place&#x2F;Kaliningrad,+Kaliningrad+Ob...</a><p>I&#x27;m wondering what the amazing mapping advance will be 20 years from now. Real time street views of all metropolitan areas?

Would traveling to the source of the river Pregel and walking around it count as a solution?

Reading the post title, my first reaction was &quot;Wow, Euler must have been really stumped if it took him until 2006 to solve the problem.&quot;

I found it kinda funny that most lectures in my Math 101 started with &quot;the little Euler&quot; or &quot;the little Gauss&quot;. Like those guys did all of Math on their own when they were children, haha.
