248.--THE CYCLISTS' TOUR.

Two cyclists were consulting a road map in preparation for a little tour

together. The circles represent towns, and all the good roads are

represented by lines. They are starting from the town with a star, and

must complete their tour at E. But before arriving there they want to

visit every other town once, and only once. That is the difficulty. Mr.

Spicer said, "I am certain we can find a way of doing it;" but Mr. Maggs

replied, "No way, I'm sure." Now, which of them was correct? Take your

pencil and see if you can find any way of doing it. Of course you must

keep to the roads indicated.
