Questions
- What is a magic square?
- A magic square is a grid of numbers where every row, column, and diagonal adds up to the same total, called the magic constant. For a 3x3 square using numbers 1-9, the magic constant is 15.
- How do you solve a magic square puzzle?
- Start by finding the magic constant (sum of all numbers divided by grid size). Use the given clues to deduce missing values. Each row, column, and both diagonals must sum to the magic constant.
- What is the Siamese method?
- The Siamese method (de la Loubere method) generates odd-order magic squares. Start at 1 in the top-center, then move up-right for each next number. If blocked, move down instead.
