A cake has the form of an x square composed of unit squares. Strawberries lie on some of the unit squares so that each row or column contains exactly one strawberry; call this arrangement . Let be another such arrangement. Suppose that every grid rectangle with one vertex at the top left corner of the cake contains no fewer strawberries of arrangement than of arrangement .
Prove that arrangement can be obtained from by performing a number of switches, defined as follows: A switch consists in selecting a grid rectangle with only two strawberries, situated at its top right corner and bottom left corner, and moving these two strawberries to the other two corners of that rectangle.
