Prove that every polygon that has a center of symmetry can be dissected into a square such that it is divided into finitely many polygonal pieces, and all the pieces can only be translated. (In other words, the original polygon can be divided into polygons $A_1,A_2,\dotsc ,A_n$, a square can be divided into polygons a $B_1,B_2,\dotsc ,B_n$ such that for $1\leqslant i\leqslant n$ polygon $B_i$ is a translated copy of polygon $A_i$.)

Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n \times n$ square arrays. The cells of $A$ are labelled by the numbers from $1$ to $n^2$ from left to right starting from the top row, whereas the cells of $B$ are labelled by the numbers from $1$ to $n^2$ along rising north-easterly diagonals starting with the upper left-hand corner. Stack the array $B$ on top of the array $A$. If two overlapping cells have the same number, they are coloured red. Determine those $n$ for which there is at least one red cell other than the cells at top left corner, bottom right corner and the centre (when $n$ is odd). Below shows the arrays for $n=4$.
