71. Sometimes, bonds must be formed in the retrosynthetic direction for strategic reasons, e.g., the retro-Diels-Alder reaction has been used synthetically, and its transform is the Diels-Alder reaction, which has a relatively large positive value of ΔC. See also Ref. 12a.
72. An analogy is cities, represented by points on a map, and the roads that connect them, represented by lines. When there is one road to a city, there is no choice of routes; however, when there are two roads, a decision must be made as to which route to take, making the problem more complex. The number of choices increases factorially as roads are added.

75. Originally, a factor of 1/2 was included in the formula for two to compensate for the fact that each walk is counted twice without it (Refs. 8a, c). It was later dropped for other reasons (Refs. 3a and 8b).
