      \return number of smallest rings found

      Base algorithm:
        - The original algorithm starts by finding representative degree 2
          nodes. 
        - Representative because if a series of deg 2 nodes are found only
          one of them is picked.
        - The smallest ring around each of them is found. 
        - The bonds that connect to this degree 2 node are them chopped off, yielding
          new deg two nodes 
        - The process is repeated on the new deg 2 nodes.
        - If no deg 2 nodes are found, a deg 3 node is picked. The smallest ring
          with it is found. A bond from this is "carefully" (look in the paper)
          selected and chopped, yielding deg 2 nodes. The process is same as 
          above once this is done.
      
      Our Modifications:
        - If available, more than one smallest ring around a representative deg 2
          node will be computed and stored
        - Typically 3 rings are found around a degree 3 node (when no deg 2s are available)
          and all the bond to that node are chopped.
        - The extra rings that were found in this process are removed after all the nodes
          have been covered.

      These changes were motivated by several factors:
        - We believe the original algorithm fails to find the correct SSSR
          (finds the correct number of them but the wrong ones) on some sample mols
        - Since SSSR may not be unique, a post-SSSR step to symmetrize may be done.
          The extra rings this process adds can be quite useful.
