Square Submatrices

CodeChefRating 2501Open on judge ↗

You are given an integer sequence $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_N$ and an integer $X$. Consider a $N \times N$ matrix $B$, where $B_{i,j} = A_i + A_j$ for each valid $i$ and $j$. You need to find the number of square submatrices of $B$ such that the sum of their elements is $X$. Formally, find the number of quartets $(x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2)$ such that $1 \le x_1 \le x_2 \le N$, $1 \le y_1 \le y_2 \le N$, $
