The four colour theorem states that no matter what shape adjacent areas cover you need only 4 different colours to colour the shapes without having adjacent colours alike.

Think of the shapes of the counties in England or the shapes of the countries of Europe and Asia drawn in outline on white paper. Then, using only 4 different colours of pencils or paint you can colour all of the counties or countries with one of the 4 different colours without having to colour any 2 adjacent ones with the same colour.
