Problem Statement

The numbers 1,2,,1001,2,\ldots,100 are written in the cells of a 10×1010\times 10 table, each number is written once. In one move, Nazar may interchange numbers in any two cells. Prove that he may get a table where the sum of the numbers in every two adjacent (by side) cells is composite after at most 3535 such moves. N. Agakhanov
