+==============================================================================+
CIPHER TYPE: FOUR-COLOR
SECURITY LEVEL: 4/7
STATUS: [ACTIVE — AWAITING DECRYPTION]
MISSION BRIEFING
----------------
Planar graph: A: B,C,D; B: A,C,E; C: A,B,D,E; D: A,C,E; E: B,C,D. Color each region with colors 1-4 so adjacent regions differ.
INTERCEPTED DATA
----------------
> adjacency:
{'A': ['B', 'C', 'D'], 'B': ['A', 'C', 'E'], 'C': ['A', 'B', 'D', 'E'], 'D': ['A', 'C', 'E'], 'E': ['B', 'C', 'D']}
> nodes:
['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']
> target:
E
> hint:
Assign colors greedily: for each node, pick the smallest color not used by its neighbors. What color is node E?
> answer format:
color label (e.g., 'c2') for the target node
[INTEL] Pool fill: four-color diff 4
