Let $G=(V,E)$ a finite, undirected, connected and simple graph, $|V| \ge 3. \space$
Prove: If $G$ has Eulerian circuit then $G$ has $3$ vertices with the same degree.

As the graph is simple each vertex can have at most $n-1$ edges, of which at there are at most $\lfloor{\dfrac{n-1}{2}}\rfloor$ elements with an even number of edges. For example, if $n=20$, a vertex can have only members of $\{2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18\}$ for it's edge count.
By the Pigeonhole Principle, $n$ vertices into $\lfloor{\dfrac{n-1}{2}}\rfloor$ elements results in $3$ vertices with the same degree.
