    "having no bridge" is antipode to "having bridge", so "destroy bridge" is antipode to "destroy no bridge". So Destroying no bridge is the solution of the problem of having no bridges. If you have no bridge, destroy no bridge and you will not have no bridge ;)

Knowing exact time period can give us a lot in this discussion. And your knowledge of math logics doesn't look quite well for me. Though I myself didn't study if tor quite some time now, so I might also be wrong here.

    I'm a math teacher, and I've taught the 7 Bridges of Konigsberg to grades from 2nd up through 12th and every single time it's been a winner of a lesson! It never fails to excite and kid, they come running up to the board to try to figure out how to do either an Eulerian Path or an Eulerian Circuit on the map of Koningsberg. And then before you know it I'd have elementary school kids talking graph theory! I've always thought that all 7 bridges fell in WWII and that 5 happened to be rebuilt. Now providing you have a helicopter you can do an Eulerian Path! Cliff is an inspiration. I'd love to be the kind of teacher that he is. It's what I strive for everyday! I'm a proud customer of Acme Klein Bottle, and this year a student 3D-Printed me a really cool glittery orange one!

    I love the randomness of "I'll walk over my third bridge backwards." And all the other wonderful diversions Cliff throws into his videos. All the while being contagiously enthusiastic, yet accurate and communicative. I was pretty familiar with this problem, so almost skipped this video. Obviously I know better now, and will hunt down all his others. It's not the destination that's important sometimes; it's the journey.

    9:26 I think it's worth noting that there can only ever be an even number of islands with an odd number of bridges attached to them. So you will never have exactly one or three islands with an odd number of bridges attached to them. This is because each bridge increases the amount of attached bridges on exactly two islands. Therefore the sum of the amount of bridges attached to all the islands must be even. Therefore there must be an even number of islands with an odd number of bridges attached to them.

    As for the current situation, a combination of Wiki and Google Maps informs us that two of the original bridges were bombed in WWII, two were later demolished and replaced by a modern road (no stopping for cars, but there are footpaths running alongside plus steps to enable pedestrians to explore the island - Google labels this as "Leninskiy pr."), one was later rebuilt, and two new bridges have been opened (one joint road/rail - "Zheleznodorozhnaya ul.", one pedestrian only) - so there are bridges in five of the original seven locations, but only two are original. There's also a road crossing one island which doesn't have any exits / entrances on it nor a footpath ("ul. 2-y estakadnyy most"), so that can likely be ignored. So now for a pedestrian: B-C has one bridge, B-A has one bridge, A-C has one bridge, C-D has two bridges, D-A has one bridge and D-B has one bridge - so B has three bridges, A has three bridges, C has four bridges and D has four bridges. For a motorist: B-C has three bridges (two pass over the islands but have nowhere to stop or pull off), C-D has one bridge, D-A has one bridge and D-B has one bridge - so B has four bridges, A has one bridge, C has four bridges and D has three bridges.

    There's a small trick. In fact, C and B are the same land mass. You start in A, go to B and back, to C and back, cross to island D, go to B, make a long walk to wherever the river is born, come back on C side of the river, and cross to island D.

    If C and B are the same land mass they have a combined even number of bridges (6) and there are two other islands (A and D) with odd numbers, so the theorem still holds as long as you start in A or D.
