Comment (by ncohen):

 > 1. By implementing a different algorithm and getting 4 as an answer
 > 2. By drawing the  solution given by sage and seeing that it does not
 give the whole graph
 > 3. Arguing as follows. In the Petersen graph any pair of vertices is
 connected by a UNIQUE shortest path and has diameter 2. Hence 3 vertices
 give you a hull of size at most 3+ (3 \choose 2)*1 = 9
 > 4. By checking this paper
 http://ajc.maths.uq.edu.au/pdf/26/ajc_v26_p011.pdf where it says that the
 Petersen graph has hull number 4.

 The paper you cite talks about the geodetic number, not the hull number.
 The computation that you do in 3 is only correct for the geodetic number.
 Thus I tend to think that the same reason explains 1 and 2 as well.
