Recall that the n-dimensional hypercube (n >= 1), denoted Qn, is the graph whose vertices are binary strings of length n, where two vertices are joined by an edge if and only if they differ in exactly one entry. Determine the values of n for which Qn is planar. Verify your answer by giving a plane drawing of Qn for each value of n for which Qn is planar, and prove non-planarity for every other value of n.

Recall that the n-dimensional hypercube (n >= 1), denoted Qn, is the graph whose vertices are binary
strings of length n, where two vertices are joined by an edge if and only if they differ in exactly one entry.
Determine the values of n for which Qn is planar. Verify your answer by giving a plane drawing of Qn for
each value of n for which Qn is planar, and prove non-planarity for every other value of n.
