Tutte graph

Notes

The Tutte graph is a cubic polyhedral, non-Hamiltonian graph. It has 46 nodes and 69 edges.

It is a counterexample to Tait’s conjecture that every 3-regular polyhedron has a Hamiltonian cycle.

It can be realized geometrically from a tetrahedron by multiply truncating three of its vertices [tutte_graph].
