The Guillotine Problem (also called the Chinese Postman Problem) is a type of mathematical problem where you have to find the shortest path between a set of points in a large map. Imagine you have a map with lots of roads, like a city map. Your job is to find the shortest route to travel between each of the points on the map. To make it even more difficult, imagine that the roads are shaped like a guillotine blade, so you must travel up and down the blade as well as side to side. Finding the right path is not an easy task! The Guillotine Problem is a way to find the best possible solution.
