Question 49

An $h \times k$ minor of an $n \times n$ table is the $hk$ cells which lie in $h$ rows and $k$ columns. The semiperimeter of the minor is $h + k$. A number of minors each with semiperimeter at least $n$ together include all the cells on the main diagonal. Show that they include at least half the cells in the table.
