Question: Let G be a hypercube on n bits. For vertices u , v in { 0 , 1 } ^ n , bit - fixing

Let G be a hypercube on n bits. For vertices u, v in {0,1}^n, bit-fixing scheme decides a path from u v by scanning the bit strings corresponding to u and v from the most significant bit to the least significant bit and flips the individual bits in order. That is, correct the mismatched bits in order.
Now consider the following variant of the bit-fixing scheme. Each packet pv (for v in {0,1}^ n) randomly orders the position of bits in the string of its source v and corrects the mismatched bits in order (of this new random string). Show that there is a permutation for which with high probability this algorithm requires 2^(n) steps to complete the routing.
