No. IX.—TWIN MAGIC SQUARES

Оглавление

Among the infinite number of Magic Squares which can be constructed, it would be difficult to find a more remarkable setting of the numbers 1 to 32 inclusive than this, in which two squares, each of 16 cells, are perfect twins in characteristics and curious combinations.

1 8 29 28 11 14 23 18
30 27 2 7 21 20 9 16
4 5 32 25 10 15 22 19
31 26 3 6 24 17 12 13

There are at least forty-eight different ways in which 66 is the sum of four of these numbers. Besides the usual rows, columns, and diagonals, any square group of four, both corner sets, all opposite pairs on the outer cells, and each set of corresponding cells next to the corners, add up exactly to 66.
