There is no Euler circuit. An Euler circuit must contain every ''edge'' in the graph. Theorem 1 says that there is an Euler circuit if and only if each vertex has an even degree. But in this graph, vertices b and c both have odd degrees (7 and 5, respectively).

The Euler Circuit should be : a -> b -> d -> c-> e-> f ->a.
But for Euler Path, I am still trying to figure out.
The closest I got was one of the path was not covered between C and B. This graph has 2 vertex with odd degree, it should have an Euler path.
