The fact that the two problems have the same threshold is in contrast with known results for the two corresponding Achlioptas-type problems. 1 Introduction One of the most prominent areas of research in random graph theory is the component structure of the random graph Gn m a graph drawn uniformly at random from all graphs A preliminary version of this paper appeared in the proceedings of the European Conference on Combinatorics Graph Theory and Applications EuroComb 2009 17 . iThe author was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation grant 200020-119918.
