  1. Obtain a minimum connector for this network. Draw your minimum connector, state the order in which the arcs were chosen and give their total weight.
  2. Use the nearest neighbour method, starting from vertex \(A\), to find a cycle that passes through every vertex. The network represents a cubical die, with vertices labelled \(A\) to \(H\), and faces numbered from 1 to 6 in such a way that the numbers on each pair of opposite faces add up to 7 . When two faces meet in an edge, the sum of the numbers on the two faces is recorded as the weight on that edge.
  3. (a) List the vertices of each of the two faces that meet in the edge \(A G\).
    (b) What number is on the face \(A C E G\) ?
    (c) Which face is numbered 3?
