Damn this paper! Can t even half way through.

Anyways here s another one which i have a problem with.

(figure)


The figure above shows an undirectede graph with six vertices. Enuff edges are to be deleted from the graph in order to leave a spnning tree, which is a connected sibgraph having the same six vertices and no cycles. How many edgges are to deleted/

Connected spanning trees always have one less edge than vertex.
