Sperner's Lemma - One-dimensional Case

One-dimensional Case

In one dimension, Sperner's Lemma can be regarded as a discrete version of the Intermediate Value Theorem. In this case, it essentially says that if a discrete function takes only the values 0 and 1, begins at the value 0 and ends at the value 1, then it must switch values an odd number of times.
