TED-Ed: Can you solve the virus riddle? - Lisa Winer

In a lab scenario, a virus is accidentally released, and the challenge is to destroy it by activating self-destruct switches in a grid of rooms. The problem is related to the Hamiltonian path problem, which is complex and involves visiting each room exactly once. The solution involves using the entrance room as an exception to complete the task. The video concludes with a reflection on the experience.
