Stupid algorithm to enumerate loops in a graph
Raw
loopy-graph.md
  1. Pick random vertex q
  2. Traverse the graph breadth-first until a loop is detected, then stop traversing that branch entirely
    1. If loops that have the same paths are detected on the same level, count only one of those
  3. Delete vertex q and go to 1
