SE-SKOLORNAS 1986 Problem 5

    In the arrangement of pnpn real numbers below, the difference between the greatest and smallest numbers in each row is at most dd , d>0d > 0 . a11 a12 ... a1na21 a22 ... a2n .    .        . .    .        . .    .        .an1 an2 ... ann\begin{array}{l} a_{11} \, a_{12} \, ... \, a_{1n} a_{21} \, a_{22} \, ... \, a_{2n} \, . \, \, \, \, . \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, . \, . \, \, \, \, . \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, . \, . \, \, \, \, . \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, . a_{n1} \, a_{n2} \, ... \, a_{nn} \end{array} Prove that, when the numbers in each column are rearranged in decreasing order, the difference between the greatest and smallest numbers in each row will still be at most d.
