BP349 One object does not belong to the pattern of the rest vs. all objects form one pattern.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

The left examples are the right examples with one object altered, which makes the solution easier to see.


"Odd one out."

BP560 There exists a closed trail that hits each edge exactly once vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left examples are called "Eulerian graphs."


A connected graph is Eulerian if and only if each vertex is incident to an even number of edges.
