Show that a graph is bipartite if and only if all of its cycles are of even length.
Show that a bridgeless plane graph is bipartite if and only if all of its faces are of even length.
Let be an Eulerian plane graph. Show that the faces of can be coloured with two colours so that no two contiguous faces have the same colour. Deduce that it is possible to assign a direction to each edge of in such a way that the edges around each face form a directed cycle.
