No. X.—A BORDERED MAGIC SQUARE

Оглавление

Here is a notable specimen of a Magic Square:—

4 5 6 43 39 38 40
49 15 16 33 30 31 1
48 37 22 27 26 13 2
47 36 29 25 21 14 3
8 18 24 23 28 32 42
9 19 34 17 20 35 41
10 45 44 7 11 12 46

The rows, columns, and diagonals all add up to exactly 175 in the full square. Strip off the outside cells all around, and a second Magic Square remains, which adds up in all such ways to 125.

Strip off another border, as is again indicated by the darker lines, and a third Magic Square is left, which adds up to 75.
