If a class of 30 children is seated in the auditorium of a cinema there will always be at least one row containing no fewer than two classmates. If we do the same with a class of 26 children then at least three rows will be empty. How many rows are there in the cinema?

In each square of a rectangular table of size \(M \times K\), a number is written. The sum of the numbers in each row and in each column, is 1. Prove that \(M = K\).

Is it possible to fill an \(n\times n\) table with the numbers \(-1\), \(0\), \(1\), such that the sums of all the rows, columns, and diagonals are unique?
