OME 1985 Problem 2

    Determine if there exists a subset EE of Z×ZZ \times Z with the properties: (i) EE is closed under addition, (ii) EE contains (0,0),(0,0), (iii) For every (a,b)≠(0,0),E(a,b) \ne (0,0), E contains exactly one of (a,b)(a,b) and −(a,b)-(a,b) .

    Remark: We define (a,b)+(a′,b′)=(a+a′,b+b′)(a,b)+(a',b') = (a+a',b+b') and −(a,b)=(−a,−b)-(a,b) = (-a,-b) .
