Question

Recall that a lattice point in the plane is a point with integer coordinates.
Let n ≥ 4 be an integer. Let S be a n × n square in the plane whose
vertices are the lattice points (a, b),(a + n, b),(a, b + n),(a + n, b + n) for
some integers a and b. The interior of S is defined to be all points in S
which are not vertices of S and not contained in any of the 4 sides of S.
Find the smallest value of N that guarantees the following: For any set A
of N lattice points contained in the interior of S, there are two elements
(x, y),(x'.y') of A such that x-x'=y'-y
 Justify your answer.
