The key takeaways are that networks can be created to connect people represented by letters, with guidelines around using the least number of lines, lines may be cut, and direct connections are faster.

The guidelines for creating networks are to use the least number of lines possible as lines cost money, lines can be cut which may disconnect people, and direct connections are faster than indirect connections with more hops.

The strength of the network created in Challenge 4 is that regardless of if any lines are cut, all letters still have ways to connect to each other, and a few extra lines were used to shorten distances or increase security without using an excessive amount of lines.

Name:

Guidelines for all Challenges:


● Only two people can be connected by a single line.
● You can be connected to multiple people at the same
time via multiple lines.
Challenge #1:
Create a network where people at each letter can speak directly to everyone else
at the other letters.
Insert as many lines as needed
A

B C
F

D E
Guideline #1:
Lines cost money, so try to use the least number of lines
possible
Challenge #2:
Create a network that uses the least number of lines
Insert as many lines as needed

B C
F

D E
Guideline #1:
Lines cost money, so try to use the least number of lines
possible

Guideline #2:
Lines can be cut, which might disconnect people from the
network
Challenge #3:
Create a network that keeps everyone connected even if one of the lines is cut
Insert as many lines as needed

B C
F

D E
Guideline #1:
Lines cost money, so try to use the least number of lines
possible

Guideline #2:
Lines can be cut, which might disconnect people from the
network

Guideline #3:
Direct Connections are faster than long paths with indirect
connections
Challenge #4:
Create a network that you feel balances all 3 guidelines
Insert as many lines as needed

B C
F

Guideline #1: D E
Lines cost money, so try to use the least number of lines possible

Guideline #2:
Lines can be cut, which might disconnect people from the network

Guideline #3:
Direct Connections are faster than long paths with indirect connections
Prompt:

Thinking about our 3 guidelines, what is a strength of the network you


created?
● Answer: The strength of the network created as that regardless of if anything is cut, all networks
still have ways to get to any other letter. There is also a few extra lines used for purposes such as
shortening distances or making the network more secure, but not a excessive amount of lines like
the first network we created.

What is a weakness for the network you created?


● Answer: The weakness of this network is that while the network does not
use an excessive amount of lines, there are still a lot of lines for
something that isn't necessarily the fastest network for some letters.
