Let GG have vertices v1,…,v5v_1,\ldots,v_5 forming the 55-cycle v1v2,v2v3,v3v4,v4v5,v5v1v_1v_2,v_2v_3,v_3v_4,v_4v_5,v_5v_1; vertices u1,…,u5u_1,\ldots,u_5 where uiu_i is adjacent to vi−1v_{i-1} and vi+1v_{i+1} (indices mod 55) – the same two vertices viv_i's OWN cycle-neighbors are; and one more vertex ww adjacent to all five uiu_i (2020 edges, 1111 vertices in all). This graph has no triangle. What is χ(G)\chi(G)?
