No. XIV.—SQUARING THE YEAR
ОглавлениеOn another page we give an interesting Magic Square of 121 cells based upon the figures of the year 1892. Here, in much more condensed form, is one more up to date.
637 | 630 | 635 |
632 | 634 | 636 |
633 | 638 | 631 |
The rows, columns, and diagonals of these nine cells add up in all cases to the figures of the year 1902.
The central 634 is found by dividing 1902 by its lowest factor greater than 2, and this is taken as the middle term of nine numbers, which are thus arranged to form a Magic Square.
