Given a $24 \times 24$ square grid, initially all its unit squares are coloured white. A move consists of choosing a row, or a column, and changing the colours of all its unit squares, from white to black, and from black to white. Is it possible that after finitely many moves, the square grid contains exactly $574$ black unit squares?
