Eulerian and Hamiltonian Graphs · Superchallenge problem

Eight vertices 0,…,70,\ldots,7 sit around a circle; each is joined to the vertices 11 and 22 steps away in either direction (so every vertex has degree 44). What is the minimum number of vertices that must be deleted from this 88-vertex graph so that NO Hamiltonian cycle survives?
