Cells of a $n*n$ square are filled with positive integers in the way that in the intersection of the $i-$th column and $j-$th row, the number $i+j$ is written. In every step, we can choose two non-intersecting equal rectangles with one dimension equal to $n$ and swap all the numbers inside these two rectangles with one another.
