Some cells of a $11 \times 11$ table are filled with pluses. It is known that the total number of pluses in the given table and in any of its $2 \times 2$ sub-tables is even. Prove that the total number of pluses on the main diagonal of the given table is also even. ($2 \times 2$ sub-table consists of four adjacent cells, four cells around a common vertex).
