Length 3 Edge-Disjoint Paths and Partial Orientation
  In 2003, it was claimed that the following problem was solvable in polynomial time: do there exist k edge-disjoint paths of length exactly 3 between vertices s and t in a given graph? The proof was flawed, and we show that this problem is NP-hard even if we disallow multiple edges. We use a reduction from Partial Orientation, a problem recently shown by P\'alv\"olgyi to be NP-hard.
