I have to prove that a hypercube Bn is Hamiltonian if n is greater than than or equal to 2, I think induction would be the best way to prove it but I am not sure. Any ideas?

Sounds right. Prove that
* B2[/sub] is Hamiltonian, and that
* If you have a hamiltonian path on B[sub:17sjl6tw]n-1[/sub:17sjl6tw], you can build one on B[sub:17sjl6tw]n[/sub:17sjl6tw]. It's not difficult, draw a picture of B[sub:17sjl6tw]2[/sub:17sjl6tw], B[sub:17sjl6tw]3[/sub:17sjl6tw], then maybe B[sub:17sjl6tw]4[/sub:17sjl6tw], so you can see how each is built from two copies of the one before.
