## Problem

Let \(n\ge 1\) be an odd integer and write \([n]=\{0,1,\ldots,n-1\}\). Let \(L:[n]\times[n]\to[n]\) be a Latin square, meaning that for each fixed row \(r\), the map \(c\mapsto L(r,c)\) is a bijection of \([n]\), and for each fixed column \(c\), the map \(r\mapsto L(r,c)\) is a bijection of \([n]\). Prove that there exists a permutation \(\pi\in S_n\) such that the map \(r\mapsto L(r,\pi(r))\) is also a permutation of \([n]\). Equivalently, prove that every Latin square of odd order has a transversal.
