Problem Statement
Albrecht writes numbers on the points of the first quadrant with integer coordinates in the following way: If at least one of the coordinates of a point is 0, he writes 0; in all other cases the number written on point is one greater than the average of the numbers written on points and . Which numbers could he write on point ?
Note: The elements of the first quadrant are points where both of the coordinates are non- negative.
