You have a regular 8x8 chess board. Two squares on the board are "neighbors" if they share a vertex or an edge. So, the four corner squares have 3 neighbors, any other square on the boundary edge has five, and all other squares have eight neighbors.
Your task is to fill the squares with numbers (any real) such that, the number on each square is the average of the numbers in its neighbors.
a. (easy) Give any one solution that will fit the requirement
b. (little hard) Find all possible solutions that will fit the requirement
