Another example is: given a collection of identical dominoes, it is clearly possible to stack them at the edge of a table so that they hang over the edge of the table.

We define to be the size of the largest collection of disjoint edges in H and to be the size of the smallest edge in.

Then H is a clutter, and is the collection of all minimal edge cuts which separate s and t. In this case is the maximum number of edge-disjoint s-t paths, and is the size of the smallest edge-cut separating s and t, so Menger's theorem ( edge-connectivity version ) asserts that.
