Let
be a positive integer, and consider an
grid. A right-down path is a sequence of grid cells such that each cell is either one cell to the right of or one cell below the previous cell in the sequence. A right-up path is a sequence of grid cells such that each cell is either one cell to the right of or one cell above the previous cell in the sequence.
Prove that the cells of the
grid cannot be partitioned into less than
right-down or right-up paths. For example, the following partition of the
grid uses
paths.
