OK math nerds, hold on to your protractorsGoogle Maps has just added Street View imagery of Russia’s Seven Bridges of Köenigsberg — the landmark behind the classic mathematical problem that has had people scratching their heads for centuries
As a part of an effort to roll out more map coverage of Russia, the Street View team landed in the seaport town of Kaliningrad (the the modern name for Köeningsberg). The town is home to seven bridges made famous in the 1700s by mathematician Leonhard Euler, who was recently featured in a Google Doodle.
Euler believed there was no possible way to go over each of the seven bridges once… and only once.
