The Royal Tutor (2017)

The Royal Tutor

Aired: April 2017 to June 2017 Watched: No record to April 26, 2020

Producers: TV Tokyo, Square Enix, Sotsu, TV Osaka, AT-X, DAX Production, TV Tokyo Music, Avex Pictures, BS Japan, Dai Nippon Printing, Contents Seed, A-Sketch Studio: Bridge

Number of episodes: 12 Synopsis:

Equally charming and stern, Heine Wittgenstein is a brilliant man who commands respect, despite his short, childlike stature. Thus, the king of Grannzreich has called upon Heine to undertake a daunting task that has driven away many before him—become the new royal tutor to four princes who are in line for the throne.

The four heirs each have very distinct and troublesome personalities: Licht, the flirtatious youngest prince; his immature older brother Leonhard; Bruno the studious third prince; and Kai, the oldest of the four and the most reserved. Hilarity ensues as Heine attempts to connect with each of the princes in order to groom them for the throne. However, Heine's mysterious past and dark undercurrents in the present may threaten the harmony within the kingdom.

Notable characters:

Heine Wittgenstein (voiced by Ueda Keisuke)

Kai von Grannzreich (voiced by Asato Yuuya)

Bruno von Grannzreich (voiced by Adachi Yuuto)

Leonhard von Grannzreich (voiced by Hirose Daisuke)

Licht von Grannzreich (voiced by Aoi Shouta)

Adele von Grannzreich (voiced by Matsui Michi)

Rating/s:

Notes/comments (optional):

The chances of me watching this is pretty close to the chances of me rewatching Snow White with the Red Hair.

Will I rewatch? Probably, if I'm really bored.

Novel Review: Tensei Oujo wa Kyou mo Hata o Tatakioru by Bisu

[27.09.20]

TITLE: Tensei Oujo wa Kyou mo Hata o Tatakioru / Tensei Oujo / The Reincarnated Princess Strikes Down Flags Today as Well

AUTHOR: Bisu

GENRE: Shoujo, Romance, Fantasy, Drama, Comedy

TYPE: Web Novel (JP)

STATUS: Ongoing

SYNOPSIS:

I was reborn as a princess in the world an otome game with memories of my previous life.

Wait, what? I’m the Heroine’s love rival? You’re kidding! I have no intention of falling in love with any of those pathetic guys, because the one I like is a support character, the Commander of the Royal Knights.

Except the Heroine, after being reincarnated in this shitty game where the support characters are way better than the love interests, is threatening to bring down my own life with flags, and I am determined to strike them down.

MY REVIEW:

Rosemarie, "Rose" or "Marie" (whatever you want to call her) retains the memories from her previous life and is reincarnated in the world of a shitty game as the Heroine’s rival.

She has two objectives: destroy the flags and obtaining happiness alongside Leonhard. Destroying flags and continuously avoiding a chaotic future has yielded a situation quite different from the game’s. Although she tries to do everything by herself because she can't tell the whole truth, I think it would be better to relay a little more on others. And also it would be perfect if she has a little more confidence in herself.

I cried when Rosemarie confessed (unintentionally) her true feelings. I honestly love all of the male characters here, but in terms of romance I feel like Leonhard is the only answer?

She knows what she wants, and she wants it so badly, but she knows that it won’t happen. As her monologue's readers, what can we do? Support her in her doomed first love? Or not? Will she persevere and win his affection? Who knows. Maybe, maybe not. Read it if you want to know more!

“Bright Ei-s by men which are/keep suddenly burning like ring of fires”. "... tell me, how can some Ei-er that formerly still burnt so brightly suddenly seem to fail!!”

So schon auch Simon & Garfunkel in Central Garden/N.Y. in bereits schon den 70er Jahren vor über einer halben Million begeisterter Zuschauern, in auch den USA.

“Und dann fiel ich, fiel er ab ...!” (from: Goldener Reiter, German Schlager and Schlagersongs already from the 70th).

*('My name or surname - better I tell you! - by chance indeed is Raiter!!!” “Oh, really, is this so?? In this case, I can imagine, you count to the popular men here on earth!” “Popular???” “We even have a very fine collection of pop records in our store ... for people like you!” “Show me the place where I will find them!” “But didn’t you say the surname it originally was Lund ... yet not Raiter??” “Wish it behaved that way! People normally like film stars ... a lot!! An’ tell me, dear N.Y. shop clerk, who is even Bond, ‘gainst somebody like Lund!!!” “Welcome in Manhattan!” “In which case, I am sure, you might show or have some stronger interest even in the local pop industry, sir, am I right! So you are from Europe?”)

“I am looking for the song Halle-lu-jah” (Leonhard Cohen) *Ball(s) + a/e, engl./sp. Ku(h) + Ja!(h)-(sagen, dt.) (erneut, zu etwas)”. Indirekt wären wir alle - gleich ein auch noch weiteres Mal - beim Bi-sexuellen alter Tage nur erneut zurückgelangt so!!

Er ist überdeutlich auch hier wieder damit gemeint!

(And then even he sang or intuned a last ...)

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

Saw her bathing on the roof!

She tied you to her kitchen chair ...

... you let me know What's really going on below”

An’ every breath, we then drew was an instant Hallelujah!! (vergl. das erneut dann mit sogar der Seite: *’Instagram’ aus dem Internet und wie sogar sie benannt ist oder wurde: ‘sofortige Gram’, Gram empfinden über etwas, innere)

“It was a cold and very broken Halle-ju-jah” (Cohen) ... .

All I need is some ER to breathe ...!” (origin.: ... air to breathe ...)

“Both or two ways strictly forbidden!!!” (*die Strasse, wir können sie uns selber auswählen, jene, welche selbst wir dann wieder vielleicht dabei auch nehmen wollen: ‘Ihr allein habt die Wahl, und müsst dafür dann wieder auch gerade stehen!! Denn als Wähler besitzt natürlich auch ihr sie, und auch bei diesen - noch anstehenden - Wahlen: entweder auch ihr biegt dann dabei erneut nach links ab, was die allein richtige Entscheidung darstellt, denn so ist oder war es von der Demokratie nun einmal von Beginn an gewollt, tut es nie nach rechts! Trefft also eure Entscheidung politisch korrekt; und trefft auch ihr sie dann erneut genau wieder gold-richtig auch!!)

“Überholen verboten”

“(Alleinig) Linke Überholspur benutzen!!”

“30 ist hier gese(t)zliches Limit” (*Runde Geburtstage)

“Wer hier dennoch rast, dessen Führerschein wird sehr schnell einkassiert”.

“Freiwillig 30 (bleiben)!! ‘Es geschieht allein erneut für eure Kinder, jene welche selbstverständlich auch ihr habt oder stets noch genauso auch besitzt, als Männer!” (’Club der 27′)

“Ein (wahrlich) feste Burg ist unser G.O.T.T.” (so the contents by still another songline, only that this time it is or directly comes from even the great former European Church Reformator Martin Luther) ... ‘Auf Erd’ ist nichts seinsgleichen!’ (So Luther in dem Lied weiter!)

... got a thing that's called radar love! ... a line in the sky ... our is the last car to pass ... (with) the line of cars already go-ing pretty slow ... the radio plays a forgotten song ... Brenda Lee’s: Coming Strong ... the Newsman sang the same song ... oh-ho, one more radar (is) love gone!

Weder sind von kommunistischen Systemen politisch verbreitete ‘linke’ Botschaften so meist wirklich ernstgemeint seitens von Regierungen, darunter fiele wiederholt selbst auch die jetzige SPD, für die sogenannte extreme Rechte eines Landes trifft das häuig aber noch genauso auch zu!! Selbst über die heutige Afd bei uns kann man das so nicht länger sagen! Und auch bei der CDU (die gemäßigte Rechte) wird erkennbar wieder dann sehr viel nur herumgescherzt werden, mit auch den eigenen Wählern ... oder auch Nicht-Wählern! Hingegen steht die FDP dann wieder ganz oft für (noch) mehr Liberalismus ein! Hingegen fordern die Grünen ein insgesamt sehr stark verbessertes Klima, und zwar innerhalb der wieder dann auch eigenen Gesellschaft, hier ist es diesmal nur die deutsche, auch einer zukünftigen noch! *Aber selbst da dreht sich dann im Grunde dann vieles davon nur wieder sehr stark um bereits schon sehr ur-altes Spannungsfeld, dem zwischen Mann und Frau und dem gegenseitigen Vertrauen: Wurde es von einem von ihnen gebrochen, vielleicht nahmen ja sogar gleich mehrere von ihnen daran erneut teil, dass es ein weiteres Mal in unmittelbare Gefahr dabei geriet oder vielleicht sogar gleich ganz wieder zerbrach, oder passierte das diesmal so erneut nicht,kann es also offiziell weiter bestehen, oder tut es das so länger vielleicht überhaupt nicht, ganz im Allgemeinen!!

Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine Musical Report

Sooo... I’m going to make it quick and write about the highlights. Keep reading if you don’t mind spoilers!

The play started with a hymn about the von Grannzreich family. Unlike the anime, Rozenberg (Kimisawa Yuki) appeared right from the start. In fact, he had more appearances than expected. w

What I liked most about the musical is that it was able to squeeze the 12 episodes into two-ish hours without removing important parts of the story.

Among the siblings, Licht’s (Aoi Shouta) part was the longest because they inserted an ad lib in between:

While Haine-sensei (Ueda Keisuke) was seated at the cafe where Licht works, he was reading a report on Kai’s (Asato Yuya) progress.

Kai walked at the middle area of the audience then proceeded to the right aisle. He wanted to talk to one of the audience, but couldn’t so he asked for Haine-sensei’s help. He kept repeating his line (from the audience area) because Haine-sensei wasn’t reacting. In fact, he was trying to stop himself from laughing while drinking from the teacup lol.

When he finally stood up, he proceeded to the left aisle and stood in front of an audience wearing a kimono. He asked, “Who do you like among the cast?” and the lady answered, “Haine-sensei.” Of course, he was happy and repeated to Kai, “She said that she likes Haine-sensei.” While walking back to the stage, he added, “I’m satisfied. (Mazoku desu.)” wwwww

Now it was Kai’s turn again. He asked a lady sitting on the aisle of the third (or was it fourth) row who her favorite is. It wasn’t clear what her answer was, but Kai went ahead and said, “Leonhard? (Daisuke Hirose)” Everyone laughed lol. Then when he heard his name. He asked to confirm, “Kai-ouji?” “I’m happy. Arigatou.” then bowed. He walked to the stage and thanked everyone again. As he exited the stage, he added “I gotta report to Leonhard.” Everyone clapped. ww

Bruno’s (Adachi Yuto) part felt short? Like he didn’t do those speeches in the anime. It didn’t affect the flow of the story, but I was expecting more from it? Though I’m glad they gave more time and focused on Kai’s violent case and the rest of the end part of the story.

As the play ends, they performed Prince Night～どこにいたのさ!? MY PRINCESS～. They danced to the second verse with a new choreography.

As for the curtain call, everybody had the chance to introduce themselves and say a message (including the ensemble).

My favorite part was KimiYuki’s (Rozenberg). After his speech, he removed his hat (I seriously thought he was going to do some magic) and got a Sachertorte (Leonhard’s favorite cake). He said, “Hontou ni ariga-torte.” wwwwww

In the background, you can hear Shoutan (Licht) say, “I’m the one who told him that!” ww

When it was Shoutan’s turn, he suddenly felt shy saying his own joke: “Victor-papa... Victorte.” SO CUTEEE. Daichan (Leonhard) can’t get over the jokes that he kept giggling even if it was already his turn. ww

After the curtain call speeches, they said their goodbyes and walked out... or so we thought. There was a special live where they sang a short version of their character songs.

All in all, it was a good play. The vocal quality was nice and I wasn’t expecting everyone to have such a good voice?? Like I’ve seen them in other stages, but their singing here surprised me a lot (except for Shoutan because he’s already good in that department lol).

Call for proposals: Enabling Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Solutions

The Alternative Finance Lab (AltFin Lab) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is an internal innovation team focused on experimenting with new financial mechanisms and technologies to progress the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). AltFin Lab’s portfolio includes successful pilots with Distributed Ledger Technologies such as CederCoin and TreeCoin.

Despite the prioritisation of decarbonisation by European economies, there remain key regulatory barriers to realising P2P energy trading. Furthermore, even when the regulatory environment is open to new innovations, there are technological implementation issues, as simple as, for example, the lack of households who have smart meters. There are, however, multiple examples of successful small-scale implementations in Armenia, Bahrain, and Panama, alongside the proliferation of DLT-based startups working to help incentivise renewable energy adoption.

Potential Challenge Areas Enabling citizen co-investments in renewable energy infrastructure, whether those are community microgrids or public-owned renewable energy parks.

Creating tradable renewable energy certificates which verify the providence of energy supplies and thus facilitates the shift of energy production and usage to renewable energy.

Development of a marketplace that connects and incentivises buyers - whether individual households or utility organisations - to renewable energy supplies.

Why should I apply? The DLT4EU accelerator is a unique opportunity to work closely with lead beneficiaries, across an intensive six-month process. Participating venture teams will benefit from:

Artboard [email protected] Experimentation forum with lead beneficiaries and user groups in Europe. Artboard 9 [email protected] Access to a network of expert mentors across the topics of social innovation, DLT technical, open source licensing, legal and regulatory issues... to name a few. Artboard 9 copy [email protected] Access to and guidance from subject matter experts in the fields of the circular economy and digital citizenship. Artboard 9 copy [email protected] Brand and business exposure across the European innovation and DLT ecosystem. Artboard 9 copy [email protected] Demo Day opportunity: a Final Event at the European Commission in February 2021 Artboard 9 copy [email protected] Financial support in the form of: A participation fund of between €8,000- €14,000, which covers direct costs of working in the accelerator (i.e. technical costs, people’s time).

All travel and accommodation costs will be covered separately for participating in the Bootcamps.

Additional opportunity for follow-on award funding of between €8,000-€14,000.

Application Deadline: May 6th, 2020

Hotly anticipated bitcoin futures surge 21 percent on debut

New Post has been published on https://new800numbers.com/business/hotly-anticipated-bitcoin-futures-surge-21-percent-on-debut/

Hotly anticipated bitcoin futures surge 21 percent on debut

Local vanity Numbers:

NEW YORK/SYDNEY (Reuters) – Bitcoin futures jumped more than 20 percent in their eagerly anticipated U.S. debut, which backers hope will encourage wider use and legitimacy for the world’s largest cryptocurrency even as critics warn of the risk of a bubble and price collapse.

Virtual currency Bitcoin tokens are seen in this illustration picture, December 8, 2017. Picture taken December 8. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration

The launch on Sunday night may have caused an early outage of the Chicago-based CBOE Global Markets’ (CBOE.O) website. The exchange said that due to heavy traffic on the CBOE Global Markets website, the site “may be temporarily unavailable.”

The one-month bitcoin contract <0#XBT:> opened trade at 6 pm (6.00 p.m. ET) at $15,460, dipped briefly and then rose to a high of $18,700.

As of 0630 GMT, it was up 17 percent from the open at $18,140, with 2,368 contracts traded.

On the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp BTC=BTSP, bitcoin prices surged 9.6 percent to $16,100. It is up more than 1,400 percent so far in 2017, and its gains in the past month have been rapid.

Experts had worried that the risks associated with the currency’s Wild West-like nature could overshadow the futures debut. Bitcoin tumbled 20 percent in 10 hours on Friday.

“Even if there is an institution or institutional-sized trader out there, they are going to want to make sure that the mechanics work first, just for the futures,” said Ophir Gottlieb, chief executive officer of Los Angeles-based Capital Market Laboratories.

“I think the excitement will come when the futures market is established. That can take a few days,” Gottlieb added.

The futures are cash-settled contracts based on the auction price of bitcoin in U.S. dollars on the Gemini Exchange, which is owned and operated by virtual currency entrepreneurs and brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Bitcoin was quoted at $16,355 on the Gemini exchange.

Market participants said the launch of the futures contract wouldn’t necessarily reduce volatility in the cryptocurrency.

“There are no ways to arbitrage between the market and other exchanges, CBOE cannot settle Bitcoin as far as I know,” said Leonhard Weese, president of the Bitcoin Association of Hong Kong, referring to sharp differences in bitcoin prices worldwide.

“Regular bitcoin traders don’t have access to it, and the trading desks that use the futures market don’t have access to bitcoin.”

CRYPTIC CURRENCY

While bitcoin’s price rise mystifies many, its origins have been the subject of much speculation.

It was set up in 2008 by someone or some group calling themselves Satoshi Nakamoto, and was the first digital currency to successfully use cryptography to keep transactions secure and hidden, making traditional financial regulation difficult if not impossible.

Central bankers and critics of the cryptocurrency have been ringing the alarm bells over the surge in the price and other risks such as whether the opaque market can be used for money laundering.

“It looks remarkably like a bubble forming to me,” the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s Acting Governor Grant Spencer said on a television program run on Sunday.

“We’ve seen them in the past. Over the centuries we’ve seen bubbles and this appears to be a bit of a classic case,” he said.

Many investors have stood on the sidelines watching its price rocket. However, it is possible to buy bitcoin without having to spend the full price of one coin. Bitcoin’s smallest unit is a Satoshi, named after the elusive creator of the cryptocurrency.

Somebody who invested $1,000 in bitcoin at the start of 2013 and had never sold any of it would now be sitting on around $1.2 million.

Heightened excitement ahead of the launch of the futures has given an extra kick to the cryptocurrency’s scorching run this year.

The CME Group (CME.O) is expected to launch its futures contract on Dec. 17.

CONTROVERSIAL MOVE

Bitcoin fans appear excited about the prospect of an exchange-listed and regulated product and the ability to bet on its price swings without having to sign up for a digital wallet.

Others, however, caution that risks remain for investors and possibly even the clearing organizations underpinning the trades.

“You are going to open up the market to a whole lot of people who aren’t currently in bitcoin,” said Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives for Charles Schwab in Austin, Texas.

The launch has so far received a mixed reception from big U.S. banks and brokerages, though.

Several online brokerages, including Charles Schwab Corp (SCHW.N) and TD Ameritrade Holding Corp (AMTD.O), did not allow trading of the new futures immediately.

The Financial Times reported on Friday that JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N), Citigroup Inc (C.N) would not immediately clear bitcoin trades for clients.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) said on Thursday it was planning to clear such trades for certain clients.

Bitcoin’s manic run-up this year has boosted volatility far in excess of other asset classes. The futures trading may help dampen some of the sharp moves, analysts said.

“Hypothetically, volatility over the long run should drop after institutions get involved,” Gottlieb said. “But there may not be an immediate impact, say in the first month.”

Just imagine an AU where everything is the same but the setting is today and the Grannzreich royal family is a modern Royal family in 2017.

Viktor is the model good-looking figurehead monarch who is extremely popular for his commitment to charity and justice. But the paparazzi also loves all the scandals surrounding his sons. Especially since the death of the Queen three years earlier.

Prince Licht who is barely 14 has been spotted at nightclubs drinking…his image put on the cover of tabloid magazines drapped over by models and starlets. Kai and Bruno had left the prestigious boy’s college where the royal family has sent their sons for generations under scandals of fighting and unruly behavior.

And Eins, the eldest, completed his schooling with honours and having served four years in the royal airforce in some peacekeeping mission abroad with praise is considered the model royal, diligently attending all the events adult royals have to and is diligent to his duty.

But rumours abound about why the King hasn’t named Eins as heir yet- the tabloids pointing out that the 23 year old hasnt been seen twice with the same woman, and is inordinately close to his secretary Ernst von Rosenberg.

And as for Leonhard, the forth Prince, barely anyone knows a thing about him.

Into this setting Heine, a humble school teacher is called in to tutor the Princes at the palace. Into this strange world of the royal family, full of wealth and prestige, will he be able to whip the Princes into shape….and what is these feelings that surface everytime he’s around the handsome King….the man he once knew so long ago.

…okay now this sounds like this belongs in the back of a paperback romance.

Eigenvalues are often introduced in the context of linear algebra or matrix theory. Historically, however, they arose in the study of quadratic forms and differential equations.

In the 18th century Leonhard Euler studied the rotational motion of a rigid body and discovered the importance of the principal axes.[8] Joseph-Louis Lagrange realized that the principal axes are the eigenvectors of the inertia matrix.[9] In the early 19th century, Augustin-Louis Cauchy saw how their work could be used to classify the quadric surfaces, and generalized it to arbitrary dimensions.[10] Cauchy also coined the term racine caractéristique (characteristic root) for what is now called eigenvalue; his term survives in characteristic equation.[11]

Joseph Fourier used the work of Lagrange and Pierre-Simon Laplace to solve the heat equation by separation of variables in his famous 1822 book Théorie analytique de la chaleur.[12] Charles-François Sturm developed Fourier's ideas further and brought them to the attention of Cauchy, who combined them with his own ideas and arrived at the fact that real symmetric matrices have real eigenvalues.[13] This was extended by Charles Hermite in 1855 to what are now called Hermitian matrices.[14] Around the same time, Francesco Brioschi proved that the eigenvalues of orthogonal matrices lie on the unit circle,[13] and Alfred Clebsch found the corresponding result for skew-symmetric matrices.[14] Finally, Karl Weierstrass clarified an important aspect in the stability theory started by Laplace by realizing that defective matrices can cause instability.[13]

In the meantime, Joseph Liouville studied eigenvalue problems similar to those of Sturm; the discipline that grew out of their work is now called Sturm–Liouville theory.[15] Schwarz studied the first eigenvalue of Laplace's equation on general domains towards the end of the 19th century, while Poincaré studied Poisson's equation a few years later.[16]

At the start of the 20th century, David Hilbert studied the eigenvalues of integral operators by viewing the operators as infinite matrices.[17] He was the first to use the German word eigen, which means "own", to denote eigenvalues and eigenvectors in 1904,[18] though he may have been following a related usage by Hermann von Helmholtz. For some time, the standard term in English was "proper value", but the more distinctive term "eigenvalue" is standard today.[19]

The Bridges of Königsberg » Heidelberg Laureate Forum » SciLogs

The city of Königsberg was founded in 1255 in Prussia, which was then part of Germany. The city was laid out across a fork in the River Pregel, with seven bridges connecting the different parts of the city.

People who lived in the city often wondered idly over coffee whether it would be possible to make a journey through the city, crossing all of the bridges, but without crossing any of the bridges twice. Each bridge would be crossed exactly once in some direction – such a feat became known as ‘walking the bridges’. People struggled to find a solution to this problem, and it took a mathematician – Leonhard Euler, who lived in nearby St Petersburg – to find the answer.

Euler was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, logician and engineer, born in 1707 in Basel, Switzerland. He was well known for making many great and deep contributions to mathematics, and has more published works than any other mathematician ever. He also introduced much mathematical terminology and notation that is still used today.

Among his many contributions was the theory of graphs, which was inspired by his work on the Bridges of Königsberg problem – the paper he published on the problem in 1736 is regarded as the first in the history of graph theory.

Euler was able to answer the question of the Bridges of Königsberg using his new-found theory – by first working out a general rule for all similar problems, then applying this understanding to the specific seven bridges problem. Often in mathematics, generalising a problem to see how it works in different cases can be a great way to get an understanding of the overall problem, and in this case it spawned an entire branch of mathematics.

Graph Theory

Graphs are networks of vertices (points) connected by edges (lines), and can be used to model all kinds of real-world and theoretical problems. The idea of a graph is to show how objects are connected without worrying about actual distances, angles or the geometric shape of the graph. Euler called it the ‘geometry of position’, as position rather than distance had become the significant factor.

You could draw a vertex for each of the numbers 1-10 and connect them with an edge if the numbers share a common factor; you could model the friendships within a group of people using a graph; or you can use them to describe physical networks – graphs are useful in designing, modelling and planning networks such as train lines, utilities supply and delivery routes.

In these kinds of real-world networks, there’s other important information, like the distances between stops, or how long it takes to travel – but you don’t need this information to draw a graph. Many train route maps are drawn using a pure graph, as the actual distances between stations aren’t as important, rather just the connections between the stops.

This difference can be seen in these two copies of the London Tube Map – on the left (image from TFL.gov.uk) the map is laid out to clearly show the connections between the stations, but the positions of the stations are not the same as they are on a real surface map. On the right (image from london-tubemap.com) the positions of the stations and lines are accurate, but this map is less useful to plan a journey – some stations are bunched up close together so it’s harder to make out what’s going on, and there are large gaps between some stations which make the map bigger than it needs to be.

It is possible to store more information in a graph than just the way things are connected – some graphs have arrows connecting the vertices instead of just plain edges, and these are called directed graphs or digraphs – they store information about which way you are allowed to travel along the edge, if this information is important – for example, if the connections you’re modelling are one-way, and a double arrow can be used to indicate a two-way connection. It’s also possible to assign a number (a weight) to each edge, so you could encode distances or travel times, and this is called a weighted graph. The variety of problems that can be modelled using graphs is impressive – and the Bridges of Königsberg problem has the honour of being the first.

Euler Paths

The problem of ‘walking the bridges’ in Königsberg can be seen as equivalent to the following problem: if the city is drawn as a graph with a vertex for each part of the city and edges where the bridges connect the different parts, can we find a path which travels along each edge exactly once?

We define an Euler Path as a route which travels along all the edges of a graph, in some direction, exactly once each edge. It may involve visiting a vertex more than once, as long as that vertex has enough edges connected there. (The problem of traversing a graph and visiting all the vertices once is a separate question.) It’s also possible, for some graphs, to create an Euler Circuit – one which travels along all the edges and finishes at the same vertex it started at.

One property of a graph that’s relevant to this is the number of odd and even vertices in the graph – a vertex is odd or even depending on whether it has an odd or even number of edges meeting there. The number of edges meeting at a vertex is called the degree of the vertex.

If a graph has exactly two odd vertices, it’s possible to find an Euler Path starting at one of these two vertices and finishing at the other. If the graph has no odd vertices at all, it’s possible to create an Euler Circuit, starting and finishing at the same vertex (and this can be completed starting anywhere in the graph).

Euler discovered all of this by sketching Konigsberg, and other graph layouts, and comparing their properties to determine exactly what makes a graph possess an Euler path.

Some of Euler’s original sketches, from the 1736 paper ‘Solutio problematis ad geometriam situs pertinentis’, or ‘Solutions to the Geometry of Position’.

So what does this mean for the city of Königsberg? The four islands (or vertices, in the equivalent graph) all have either 3 or 5 bridges meeting there. This means it’s not possible! If you spent a while trying, don’t feel bad – but Euler’s achievement of proving why it’s not possible is in some sense a solution to the original problem. Quite often in maths, if something can’t be done, it’s still satisfying to fully understand why, and in this case it’s lead to the development of some hugely interesting and useful mathematical ideas.

Today, due to historical restructuring after bombing damage in the war and other building since, two of the original seven bridges are no longer standing, and others have been added – such that it is now possible to cross all the bridges of Königsberg (which is now part of Russia, as of 1945, and is called Kaliningrad) in one Euler path. I guess that’s one way to solve a problem – although it has taken hundreds of years!

The, umm, eight bridges of Kaliningrad, and an Euler path which crosses them all

A bridge too far

If you’re dissatisfied with an impossible puzzle, here’s a variation on the original. Imagine the city of Konigsberg is inhabited by two rival families – the Red family, occupying the south bank of the river, and the Blue family, who live in the north. Within the city, each family has their own schloß (castle) marked on the map in their own colour, and there’s also a gasthaus (inn) marked in yellow in the centre.

While everyone in Königsberg knows it’s impossible to ‘walk the bridges’, Baron von Blue comes up with a plan to build an eighth bridge in the city. He wants to position it so that he can leave from his castle on the north bank, walk the bridges, and finish at his favourite gasthaus – but he would like to place it so that it doesn’t enable his rival, Lady Red, to complete the same trick starting from her schloß. Where should the eighth bridge be built?

Lady Red, on discovering this deception, comes up with her own plan – to build a ninth bridge. It should enable her to walk the bridges, starting from her castle in the south, and finish at the gasthaus for a celebratory round – but it should make it now impossible for Baron Blue to do the same thing from his schloß in the north. Where does the ninth bridge go?

My attempt at designing a ‘Seven Bridges of Heidelberg’ problem has been scuppered by Heidelberg’s simple layout, and lack of sufficient bridges

After seeing these two rivals wreak havoc on the city with their inane bridge building (and quite dismayed at the amount of time people are spending at the gasthaus), the Bishop decides to scupper all their plans by building a tenth bridge. He’d like to make it possible for anyone who lives anywhere in the city to walk the bridges, and return home to their own homes. Where should he build a tenth bridge?

Salzburg - 5-stop Day Trip

Salt is what gives the city city its name - salz, German for salt, and burg for the fortress that rises above the city. Salzburg is a city with music running through its streets and heartbeat, like the other great music cities of Europe, Dresden and Prague. I had a wonderful day trip though five of its top attractions.

1. Schloss Mirabell

The first stop on my Salzburg tour is the iconic Schloss Mirabell from the Sound of Music, where the iconic Do Re Mi song was filmed. It brought back good memories of watching the musical version in Singapore. I was amazed by how the gardens is directly in line with the fortress Hohensalzburg, although it remained cloudy for most of the day and could not be seen in the early morning fog.

2. Hotel Sacher and Sachertorte

It was a chilly and windy day, so my next stop was Hotel Sacher, a short walk away from Schloss Mirabell, which looked very picturesque with its lights and mini Christmas trees. The must try cake here is called the Sachertorte (torte = cake), a rich chocolate cake that was loved even by the famous Empress Elisabeth. Since 1962, only cakes that are produced at the Sacher can be called “original” Sachertorte due to imitations from other competitors, and the originals come in a distinctive wooden box. It doesn’t come cheap though, and the wooden box looked a bit difficult to carry on a backpacking trip, so I decided not to buy a whole cake in the end and opted to try one slice at the cafe.It was difficult to leave the warmth of the cafe with its hot noodle soup and sweet Sachertorte!

3. Mozart’s Birthplace Museum

Mozart Geburtshaus museum was the next stop after lunch - finally visiting the birthplace of one of my favourite composers! Mozart’s family moved here in 1747 and lived here for 26 years, and I’m glad that the house has been preserved well and in good condition. The museum even offered free wifi to download a app for a self-guided tour, which was helpful in understanding the exhibits. Mozart’s career as a child prodigy and composer is well documented, but it was a little surreal to see artefacts from his life, like his child violin. Other artefacts covered include the family’s luggage, which included items like first aid kits and coin scales for the family’s music tours across Europe. The museum also talks about Austrian daily life and court life.

There was a copy of his piano at the museum as well. I remember when Lang Lang came to Singapore to play two concerts, I went to the piano recital concert and the entire hall with thousands of people was absolutely quiet listening to the wonderfully pure Mozart sonatas. As for myself, one of my favourite memories with Mozart is playing the Sonata for Two Pianos K448 with Claire. I spent countless hours at the piano with Sonata K311 during the days preparing for ATCL, but as the pianist Arthur Schnabel once said “Mozart is too easy for children, but too difficult for professionals”. It is so difficult to play the piece with good interpretation, there is no flashy cadenza and pedaling to hide mistakes. Maybe someday in the near future, I will make another attempt at the ATCL with another Mozart sonata.

If I take a photo with the statue will I play better Mozart? :)

4. Salzburg Cathedral

A quick stop at the Salzburg Cathedral is next, which has a very pretty and ornate dome. By this point I have a bit of cathedral-fatigue after a few months in Europe, so moving on to...

... 5. Fortress Hohensalzburg

Luckily, there was a funicular running up to the medieval fortress that towers above Salzburg on a hill. In the frigid winter cold, it was definitely the funicular over any foot paths. The fortress itself was pretty large, and once I reached the top there turned out to be a huge queue for the tour! The waiting time to enter was around an hour in the cold outside in the courtyard, and I think I was in one of the last few tour groups for the day as the last admissions was at 4:30pm in winter.

The fortress itself was built in 1077, but the area was occupied before that in Roman and pre-Roman times as well. The fortress is so well built, apparently it has never been conquered before, except one time they surrendered to Napoleon. One of the first rooms is this cavernous room with portraits of ex-rulers, which was actually a salt storeroom, for salt was the most important export of Salzburg. Some of the rulers had funny stories about them, like Prince Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach who made important expansions to the fortress but also had a turnip for his coat of arms as it was rumoured that a turnip was thrown at him. There was also a torture chamber used as a secure prison for Protestants and political prisoners. Fortunately we learned that no actual torture was carried out here.

On the way out, we passed the Salzburg Bull, a large mechanical organ with over 200 pipes. It is one of Salzburg’s icons, and it is said that it seems to answer the call of the carillon from the city’s Neugebäude.

From here, we climbed further up to the top of the fortress where there was an beautiful view of the city - the fog had finally, finally cleared and Salzburg looked like a postcard in the fast approaching dusk.
