Szekeres snark
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Szekeres snark is a snark with 50 vertices and 75 edges.[1] It was the fifth known snark, discovered by George Szekeres in 1973.[2]

As a snark, the Szekeres graph is a connected, bridgeless cubic graph with chromatic index equal to 4. The Szekeres snark is non-planar and non-hamiltonian but is hypohamiltonian.[3] It has book thickness 3 and queue number 2.[4]
Another well known snark on 50 vertices is the Watkins snark discovered by John J. Watkins in 1989.[5]

gollark: On composite video there are apparently "frame synchronization pulses".
gollark: They have sync signals too on one of the lines, I think.
gollark: I guess it might work?
gollark: S-Video is old and analog, IIRC.
