Problem Statement

The rectangular table has four rows. The first one contains arbitrary natural numbers (some of them may be equal). The consecutive lines are filled according to the rule: we look through the previous row from left to the certain number nn and write the number kk if nn was met kk times. Prove that the second row coincides with the fourth one.
