Question 23

A rectangular grid of squares has $141$ rows and $91$ columns. Each square has room for two numbers. Horace and Vera each fill in the grid by putting the numbers from $1$ through $141 \times 91 = 12{,}831$ into the squares. Horace fills the grid horizontally: he puts $1$ through $91$ in order from left to right into row $1,$ puts $92$ through $182$ into row $2$ in order from left to right, and continues similarly through row $141.$ Vera fills the grid vertically: she puts $1$ through $141$ in order from top to bottom into column $1,$ then $142$ through $282$ into column $2$ in order from top to bottom, and continues similarly through column $91.$ How many squares get two copies of the same number?
  1. $7$
  2. $10$
  3. $11$
  4. $12$
