Abstract
We continue the study by Melo and Winter [arXiv:1712.01763, 2017] on the possible intersection sizes of a -dimensional subspace with the vertices of the -dimensional hypercube in Euclidean space. Melo and Winter conjectured that all intersection sizes larger than (the "large" sizes) are of the form . We show that this is almost true: the large intersection sizes are either of this form or of the form . We also disprove a second conjecture of Melo and Winter by proving that a positive fraction of the "small" values is missing.
