Suzuki published the result on his website. I could confirm the result by using other methods. is equal to the number of regular panmagic squares. They may be generated using latin squares, as Leonhard Euler pointed out already in the 18th century. and were proved by A.H. Frost (1878) and more elegantly by C. Planck (1919).

    Extractions: m a g i c Recursion Index In this page, I'm going to show you the permutation-capabilities of Recursion. Permutation means a combination of certain units in all possible orderings. Recursion can be effectively used to find all possible combinations of a given set of elements. This has applications in anagrams, scheduling and, of course, Magic Squares. And if you're interested, Recursion can also be used for cracking passwords. First, what is a magic square? A Magic Square contains a certain bunch of numbers, in this case, 1..9, each of which has to be filled once into the grid. The 'magic' property of a Magic Square is that the sum of the numbers in the rows and columns and diagonals should all be same, in this case, 15. Try making a 3x3 magic square yourself. It's not that easy. If it was easy, try a 4x4 grid with numbers 1..16. And what about 5x5, 6x6...? That's where computers come in! Okay, now, how do we go about programming something

    Extractions: Lies De Sutter An De Brandt Katrien De Bruycker Vicky De Marteau Why this subject ? One day our teacher of Mathematics talked to us about Magic Squares. The magic immediately caught us in it's mysterious arms, so we wanted to know more about this subject. It is merely coincidence or is there another unknown power behind it? Is it the same fascinating magic as we can also find in fractals? Does nature have a secret that it will never reveal totally for mankind? Is the entire universe with it's living creatures build up by a complicated (or simple ?!) pattern? So we decided to start with basic research of these intriguing constructions : Magic Squares. What are they, do they have a use, how were they discovered, what will they learn us in the future ? Let us take you on a journey through this magical world. What Is A Magic Square? A magic square is a simple mathematical game developed during the 1500s. You prepare a single square which is divided into the same number of rows and columns. Then, start filling each little square with the number from 1 to x where x equals the number of rows multiplied by the number of columns. You can only use a number once. Fill each square so that the sum of each row is the same as the sum of each column. In the example shown here, the sum of each row is 34, and the sum of each column is also 34

    Extractions: Problem 3: Magic Squares Following the success of the magic cube, Mr. Rubik invented its planar version, called magic squares. This is a sheet composed of 8 equal-sized squares (see Figure 3). Figure 3: Initial configuration In this task we consider the version where each square has a different colour. Colours are denoted by the first 8 positive integers (see Figure 3). A sheet configuration is given by the sequence of colours obtained by reading the colours of the squares starting at the upper left corner and going in clockwise direction. For instance, the configuration of Figure 3 is given by the sequence (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8). This configuration is the initial configuration. Three basic transformations, identified by the letters 'A', 'B' and 'C', can be applied to a sheet: All configurations are available using the three basic transformations. A: B: C: Figure 4: Basic transformations The effects of the basic transformations are described in Figure 4.

    Extractions: According to the ancient Chinese book I Ching (The Book of Changes), in about the year 2800 BC the Emporer Yu was boarding a royal barge to cross the River Shu. He was a tortoise hiding in the reeds. On the back of the animal were some curious markings and the Emporer had a scribe copy them. The result of this, according to tradition, was the discovery of the first magic square, the 'Lo Shu'. It is often called the 'River Writing' because of this story. In this drawing of the 'Lo Shu', numbers are represented by dots - even numbers are black and odd numbers are white. Look at the diagram below, can you see a connection? Try adding up the numbers in the rows, columns and diagonals. The 'Lo Shu' is a magic square of the order 3. The numbers in a magic square sould be the same as the number of cells (for examples in a square of 3 x 3 the numbers are 1 - 9); and they are placed so that each row, column and the two main diagonals all sum to the same total. The smallest magic square is the 'Lo Shu' which is of the order 3. Any other arrangements of order 3 are only reflections and rotations of 'Lo Shu'.

    Extractions: Nested Magic Squares by Robert C. Wilke 5 x 5 Nested Magic Square Traditionally, a magic square consists of a set of consecutive numbers such that the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to the same number. A nested magic square is defined as magic square which contains a magic square of smaller order. For example, A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y If the above square is magic and nested then the square with the corners G, I, Q, S, will also be magic. Since the nested square has certain properties, then the outer ring, A, B, C, D, E, J, O, T, Y, X, W, V, U, P, K, F can be worked on independently from the inner magic square, greatly reducing the number of calculations required to determine the total number of nested magic 5 x 5 squares. Choosing the proper value of the 3 x 3 magic square which will be nested in a 5 x 5 magic square turns out to be quite easy. The 5 x 5 magic square by definition consists of the numbers 1 through 25, the sum of those numbers equals 325. In selecting the nested 3 x 3 magic square by definition, the smallest magic 3 x 3 square would consist of the numbers 1 to 9, and the largest 3 x 3 magic square would consist of the numbers 17 through 25 because of the consecutive number constraints imposed by the 5 x 5 magic square. It is possible to construct the following chart for the 5 x 5 magic square which only lists whole number solutions to the problem. Whole Number Solutions 5 x 5 Nested Magic Square

For example, if we look at the top row of the square, we see three different colors, three different shapes, three different numbers, and three different types of shading within the objects. Need more examples? Any line on the magic square yields a set. Using our powers of deduction, we can conclude that in order to create a set in the first row, the #2 card needs to have a different color, different shape, same number, and same shading as the #1 and #3 cards. That leaves us with a solid purple oval. The rest of the square can be completed in the same way, giving us the following magic square:

    Extractions: Figure 2 A magic square is an NxN matrix in which every row, column, and diagonal add up to the same number. Ever wonder how to construct a magic square? A silly way to make one is to put the same number in every entry of the matrix. So, let's make the problem more interesting- let's demand that we use the consecutive numbers I will show you a method that works when N is odd. As an example, consider a 3x3 magic square, as in Figure 1. Start with the middle entry of the top row. Place a 1 there. Now we'll move consecutively through the other squares and place the numbers 2, 3, 4, etc. It's easy: after placing a number, just remember to always move: 1. diagonally up and to the right when you can
