Strong Bordeaux Conjecture on 3-coloring planar graphs

About 16 years old · traced to

Let GG be a planar graph. Strong Bordeaux Conjecture. If no pair of cycles of length three in GG shares an edge and GG has no cycle of length five, then GG is 3-colorable. This conjecture is explicitly stated to be disproved by the same counterexample that disproves Steinberg's conjecture.
