RU-ALLRUSSIAN 1991 Problem 16

    (1) r1,r2,…,r100,c1,c2,…,c100\mathbf{r}_1, \mathbf{r}_2, \ldots , \mathbf{r}_{100}, \mathbf{c}_1, \mathbf{c}_2, \ldots , \mathbf{c}_{100} are distinct reals. The number ri+cj\mathbf{r}_i + \mathbf{c}_j is written in position i, j of a 100×100100 \times 100 array. The product of the numbers in each column is 1. Show that the product of the numbers in each row is -1. (2) r1,r2,…,r2n,c1,c2,…,c2n\mathbf{r}_1, \mathbf{r}_2, \ldots , \mathbf{r}_{2n}, \mathbf{c}_1, \mathbf{c}_2, \ldots , \mathbf{c}_{2n} are distinct reals. The number ri+cj\mathbf{r}_i + \mathbf{c}_j is written in position i, j of a 2n×2n2n \times 2n array. The product of the numbers in each column is the same. Show that the product of the numbers in each row is also the same.
