A line in the plane is called *sunny* if it is **not** parallel to any of the $x$-axis, the $y$-axis, and the line $x + y = 0$.

Let $n \geq 3$ be a given integer. Determine all nonnegative integers $k$ such that there exist $n$ distinct lines in the plane satisfying both of the following:

* for all positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $a + b \leq n + 1$, the point $(a, b)$ is on at least one of the lines; and
* exactly $k$ of the $n$ lines are sunny.
