have the same rank and are from the same state. Can they be arranged<br />

in rows <strong>of</strong> 6 so that each state and each rank is represented exactly once<br />

in each row and each column In 1779 Leonard Euler showed no.)<br />

(a) Explain, maybe by using examples, why AA, AB, BA, BB cannot be<br />

put into a 2 × 2 Greek-Latin Square.<br />

(b) Find, through experimentation, a 5 × 5 Greek-Latin Square.<br />

(c) Sometimes the “Greek” part <strong>of</strong> the name is reserved for those squares<br />

whose front and back diagonals also have the “Latin” property. Find<br />

a 3 × 3 square <strong>of</strong> this type.<br />
