Abstract: We prove a Knaster-type result for orbits of the group $(Z_2{)}^k$ in $S^{2^k-1}$, calculating the Euler class obstruction. Among the consequences are: a result about inscribing skew crosspolytopes in hypersurfaces in $mathbb{R}^{2^k}$, and a result about equipartition of a measures in $mathbb{R}^{2^k}$ by $(Z_2{)}^{k+1}$-symmetric convex fans.
