A labelling of the n-dimensional hypercube Hn is a mapping that assigns value 0 or 1 to each edge of Hn. A labelling is antipodal if antipodal edges of Hn get assigned different values. It has been conjectured that if Hn, n ≥ 2, is given a labelling that is antipodal, then there exists a pair of antipodal vertices joined by a monochromatic path. This conjecture has been verified by hand for n ≤...
