Problem Statement

A subset SS of size nn of a plane consisting of points with both coordinates integer is given, where nn is an odd number. The injective function f ⁣:SSf\colon S\rightarrow S satisfies the following: for each pair of points A,BSA, B\in S, the distance between points f(A)f(A) and f(B)f(B) is not smaller than the distance between points AA and BB. Prove there exists a point XX such that f(X)=Xf(X)=X.
