The Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem, posed by mathematician Leonhard Euler, is not possible to solve in a way that allows a person to cross each bridge exactly once and return to the starting point. Euler demonstrated that this is due to the configuration of the bridges and the landmasses, which results in an Eulerian path that cannot exist in this specific case. The necessary prerequisites for such a path include having either all vertices with even degrees or exactly two vertices with odd degrees, which is not satisfied in the Königsberg layout. Thus, it is impossible to traverse all seven bridges without retracing steps.
