Problem Statement

A convex nn-gon and its n3n-3 diagonals which have no common point inside the polygon form a subdivision graph. Show that if and only if 3n3|n, there exists a subdivision graph that can be drawn in one closed stroke. (i.e. start from a certain vertex, get through every edges and diagonals exactly one time, finally back to the starting vertex.)
