Disproof of Four Color Theorem (?)

1.5k Views Asked by At

I heard about the four color theorem recently and decided to give disproving it a try. After about an hour attempting to disprove this map, I couldn't find any solutions with only four colors. Can anyone find any possible way to color it in four colors?

I'm sorry, but you're not going to get anywhere. The four-color theorem has a proof which has been checked at least as well, if not better, than any other mathematical result.

Here is a coloring.

This is how I did it

There's a lot of cool resources on Wikipedia and others about how best to color maps using only 4 colors.
