Ragnarok: The fabled end of the world, when giants, monsters, and Norse gods battle for the future. The gods were winning until the great serpent Jörmungandr emerged. It swallowed Valhalla and contorted itself across the land. Odin has just enough power to strike with one final bolt of lightning, and you have the fabled hammer, Mjölnir. Can you two destroy the serpent? Dan Finkel shows how.

The video briefly references the case when all the nodes in a graph have an even number of edges. Will the starting and ending point of an Eulerian circuit on such a graph always be the same node? How do you know? Try drawing examples of other graphs with this property, and see whether the starting and ending points of an Eulerian path are indeed always the same.

this was kinda cool yet confusing! cool cuz it literally combines my 2 fave things: norse mythology and riddles! confusing cuz i have no idea what the answer was!
Ok, the answer is that because the fabled hammer controls lightning/storm because it belongs to the God Of Thunder, Thor, you use Mljonir and slide it up the serpent's body and then smash the hammer on its head than when it's weakened because it is banged on electrocuted on it's body, smash the lightning bolt on the head!

I was so confused at first because I kept crossing over and going back on the same place. But then he explained the two nodes with an odd number were your starting and ending points.
