Abstract
We prove that, for all even , there exists a latin square of order with at least one transversal, yet all transversals coincide on entries. These latin squares have at least transversal-free entries. We also prove that for all odd , there exists a latin square of order divided into nine subsquares, where every transversal hits each of these subsquares at least once.
