Question 46

The rows and columns of a $2^{n} \times 2^{n}$ table are numbered from $0$ to $2^{n}-1$. The cells of the table have been colored with the following property being satisfied: for each $0 \leq i, j \leq 2^{n}-1$, the $j$th cell in the $i$th row and the $(i+j)$th cell in the $j$th row have the same color. (The indices of the cells in a row are considered modulo $2^{n}$.)

Prove that the maximal possible number of colors is $2^{n}$.
