CN-TST 2014 Problem 6

  • Test 1

Let n≥2n\ge 2 be a positive integer. Fill up a n×nn\times n table with the numbers 1,2,...,n21,2,...,n^2 exactly once each. Two cells are termed adjacent if they have a common edge. It is known that for any two adjacent cells, the numbers they contain differ by at most nn . Show that there exist a 2×22\times 2 square of adjacent cells such that the diagonally opposite pairs sum to the same number.
