Source abstract

We give a combinatorial proof that every simple convex 33-polytope admits a small cover without using the Four Color Theorem. We also prove that the assertion that every simple plane triangulation admits a mod~22 characteristic function with at most five values is equivalent to the Four Color Theorem.
