# How many integral values of (X,Y) are there? [closed]

How many integral values of $(X,Y)$ are there such $$((|X-L_1|+|Y-M_1|)+(|X-L_2|+|Y-M_2|)+\cdots+(|X-L_n|+|Y-M_n|))$$ is minimized?

$10^{-6} < X < 10^6$

$10^{-6} < Y < 10^6$

When $N$ is odd, there is a unique median, so a unique $X$ and a unique $Y$. –  Gerry Myerson May 3 '12 at 5:56
