Jul 8, 2021 at 8:37 comment added justhalf @AxiomaticSystem a circular rubber band (when divided into 6 segements is a 6-cycle) can intersect itself once (odd) too without any problem.
Jul 7, 2021 at 13:14 comment added Dmitry Kamenetsky It is in fact possible ;)
Jul 7, 2021 at 13:01 comment added AxiomaticSystem No - in both the 6-cycle and the 3+3 (the only two options unless you allow degree-1 dots and thus certain exotic graphs) you have a distinguishable "interior". Since the number of interior touches (nine) is odd, you'd end up on opposite sides of the border if you had no tangencies.
Jul 7, 2021 at 12:55 comment added Dmitry Kamenetsky That is correct! Is it possible to make all interior touches as intersections?
