Problem Statement
A rectangular sheet of paper with integer length sides is given. The sheet is marked with unit squares. Arrows are drawn at each lattice point on the sheet in a way that each arrow is parallel to one of its sides, and the arrows at the boundary of the paper do not point outwards. Prove that there exists at least one pair of neighboring lattice points (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) such that the arrows drawn at these points are in opposite directions.
