3x3 magic squares * updated
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square#Types_of_magic_squares_and_their_construction
given a 3x3 block with 3 numbers inserted
e.g.
|2|_|_|
|_|_|6|
|_|3|_|
How would I solve this magic square? Is there a pattern for this?
The method in wikipedia only applies when it starts with the 1. What if it's something like the above?
I have something that I cannot figure out in my notes. My instructor labeled some possible magic squares below...
she labeled these four as 4 folder reflection
|6|1|8|
|7|5|3|
|2|9|4|
|4|9|2|
|3|5|7|
|8|1|6|
|2|7|6|
|9|5|1|
|4|3|8|
|8|3|4|
|1|5|9|
|6|7|2|
then labeled this one below a two step found(i think it's called found can't make out the words)
