CMO 2018 Problem 2

  • Day 1

Let nn and kk be positive integers and let T={(x,y,z)∈N3∣1≤x,y,z≤n}T = \{ (x,y,z) \in \mathbb{N}^3 \mid 1 \leq x,y,z \leq n \} be the length nn lattice cube. Suppose that 3n2−3n+1+k3n^2 - 3n + 1 + k points of TT are colored red such that if PP and QQ are red points and PQPQ is parallel to one of the coordinate axes, then the whole line segment PQPQ consists of only red points.

Prove that there exists at least kk unit cubes of length 11 , all of whose vertices are colored red.
