No Rectangles |
Consider a grid such as the one shown. We wish to mark k intersections in each of n rows and n columns in such a way that no 4 of the selected intersections form a rectangle with sides parallel to the grid. Thus for k = 2 and n = 3, a possible solution is:
It can easily be shown that for any given value of k, is a lower bound on the value
of n, and it can be shown further that n need never be larger than this.
Write a program that will find a solution to this problem for k=12, n=133.
There is no input to this program. Output will consist of n lines of k points indicating the selected points on that line.
Example: if the problem had called for a solution to the problem for k=2, n=3; then the output could look like this:
1 2 1 3 2 3
