Tait's conjecture on Hamiltonian planar cubic graphs

About 13 years old · traced to

Let GG be a 33-regular, 33-connected planar graph. Tait's conjecture. Every such graph is Hamiltonian. The conjecture was disproved by W. T. Tutte, who constructed a counterexample on 4646 vertices; further counterexamples were found on 3838 vertices by Holton and McKay.
