    Let nn be a positive integer. The numbers {1,2,...,n2}\{1, 2, ..., n^2\} are placed in an n×nn \times n grid, each exactly once. The grid is said to be Muirhead-able if the sum of the entries in each column is the same, but for every 1≤i,k≤n−11 \le i,k \le n-1 , the sum of the first kk entries in column ii is at least the sum of the first kk entries in column i+1i+1 . For which nn can one construct a Muirhead-able array such that the entries in each column are decreasing?
