Nope, it's not possible with an odd number of bridges. It only works if there are an even number of bridges.

You can’t. Every island, every time you enter, you must also leave, meaning there must be an even number of bridges for each island. The only exception is the starting and ending island, which means at most two island can have an odd number of bridges. All islands have an odd number of bridge. Therefore this is impossible.

Hello!
I am not able to solve it.Would you be kind enough to tell me, either here or in DMs as to how to solve the problem?
I would be much inclined to hear your solution, as it may be in any way.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
The_Shadow_DwellerI didn't get it, why would you have to cross all seven bridges, you can get to any place you want to go in any direction without having to cross more than 2 bridges.
If the goal is just to cross all 7 without having to cross any one bridge more than once then its impossible because there is an odd number of bridges, you would need a even number of bridges.
So in order to do it you would have to be able to start and finish at the same place... which you can not do without crossing one of the bridges more than once. I know by looking at it, that it totally seems possible but there isn't any solution to the question that would make that possible... but at the same time its a waste of time because you can get to any location you want in the shortest distant and time possible without ever having to cross more than two bridges.Done
In fact, only six bridges can be crossed once: 1-5-6-2-4-7.
The real problem is that after crossing bridge you are now "trapped" at the lower part of the map and since you can only cross a bridge once (1 and 5 have already been used), you are swimming across the river to get home.Super easy. It took me about 5 seconds to figure it out. But I'm good at these type of puzzles. There is a simple trick to it.
This is a problem in IT. There is a process called convergence that happens in a switch. Each node is visited exactly once. I have not done this since grad school but I could probably find my notes.
I remember there being an explanation for why it is not possible but don't remember the explanation.

Pretty sure it's not possible
The only way it could be done is if I take a pencil and cross out each bridge one at a time.
I heard about this riddle and completely forgot about it until you posted it.
It's called Kaliningrad now.There you go. All bridges crossed. Solved!
Graph theory on GaG huh...
Yes.
It's easy if you're a good swimmer.cute.. can't be done, thanks for playing
Yes, the solution is that it can't be done.
Seems to be a play on words here
