Determine all functions $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that satisfy the following two properties. (i) The Riemann integral $\int_a^b f(t) \mathrm dt$ exists for all real numbers $a < b$. (ii) For every real number $x$ and every integer $n \ge 1$ we have \[ f(x) = \frac{n}{2} \int_{x-\frac{1}{n}}^{x+\frac{1}{n}} f(t) \mathrm dt. \]
