A lattice point in the plane is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. Each lattice point has four neighboring points: upper, lower, left, and right. Let k be a circle with radius r≥2, that does not pass through any lattice point. An interior boundary point is a lattice point lying inside the circle k that has a neighboring point lying outside k. Similarly, an exterior boundary point is a lattice point lying outside the circle k that has a neighboring point lying inside k. Prove that there are four more exterior boundary points than interior boundary points. combinatoricslattice pointscombinatorial geometrycircleIMO Shortlist
