In the plane the points with integer coordinates are the vertices of unit squares. The squares are coloured alternately black and white (as on a chessboard). For any pair of positive integers $ m$ and $ n$, consider a right-angled triangle whose vertices have integer coordinates and whose legs, of lengths $ m$ and $ n$, lie along edges of the squares.

Let $ f(m,n) \equal{} | S_1 \minus{} S_2 |$. a) Calculate $ f(m,n)$ for all positive integers $ m$ and $ n$ which are either both even or both odd. b) Prove that $ f(m,n) \leq \frac 12 \max \{m,n \}$ for all $ m$ and $ n$. c) Show that there is no constant $ C\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $ f(m,n) < C$ for all $ m$ and $ n$.

There is an integer in each cell of a $2m\times 2n$ table. We define the following operation: choose three cells forming an L-tromino (namely, a cell $C$ and two other cells sharing a side with $C$, one being horizontal and the other being vertical) and sum $1$ to each integer in the three chosen cells. Find a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of $m$, $n$ and the initial numbers on the table, for which there exists a sequence of operations that makes all the numbers on the table equal.
