OIM 1990 Problem 5

    AA and BB are two opposite vertices of an n×nn \times n board. Within each small square of the board, the diagonal parallel to ABAB is drawn, so that the board is divided in 2n22n^{2} equal triangles. A coin moves from AA to BB along the grid, and for every segment of the grid that it visits, a seed is put in each triangle that contains the segment as a side. The path followed by the coin is such that no segment is visited more than once, and after the coins arrives at BB , there are exactly two seeds in each of the 2n22n^{2} triangles of the board. Determine all the values of nn for which such scenario is possible.
