Question 45

Find all integers $n \geqslant 3$ with the following property: for all real numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n}$ and $b_{1}, b_{2}, \ldots, b_{n}$ satisfying $\left|a_{k}\right|+\left|b_{k}\right|=1$ for $1 \leqslant k \leqslant n$, there exist $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n}$, each of which is either $-1$ or $1$, such that
$$
\left|\sum_{k=1}^{n} x_{k} a_{k}\right|+\left|\sum_{k=1}^{n} x_{k} b_{k}\right| \leqslant 1 \quad (1)
$$
