Consider a latin square of size $n$. We are allowed to choose a $1 \times 1$ square in the table, and add $1$ to any number on the same row and column as the chosen square (the original square will be counted aswell) , or we can add $-1$ to all of them instead. Can we with doing finitly many operation , reach any latin square of size $n?$
