While they may have been called magic squares, there is absolutely nothing magical about them. The arrangement of numbers in magic squares is all very rational.

Need a example on how to do magic square with fractions?

Here's an idea: Why not simply draw an ordinary 3 x 3 magic square with the numbers 1 through 9, then in each cell, draw a line under the number and add a denominator of 10. Bingo. You have a magic square comprised of the fractions 1/10 through 9/10, and the universal sum is 1.5 instead of 15. Something along those lines.


What are magic square?

answer Magic Square is an n x n matrix with each cell containing a number from 1 to n^2. You need to figure out where to place each number in the cells so that the sum of the vertical columns, horizontal rows, and main diagonal cells is the same. You can start out with a 3 x 3 matrix and build in complexity by working towards a 4 x 4 matrix and so on.For example, let�s take a look at a simple 3 x 3 matrix. On a piece of paper construct a matrix that has 3 columns and 3 rows. Next, we will need to figure out where to place the numbers from 1 to n^2 or 1 to 32 = 1 to 9 in this case. Trial and error is the common first method to employ when solving this puzzle. Verify that the sum of each vertical column, horizontal row, and main diagonal is the same. The main diagonal means the two diagonals that go through the corners of the matrix. answer an extra hint: In any (odd number) by (odd number) square, the number in the centre of the magic square is a third of the number you are attempting to make all hoizontals and verticals add to.Also, the sum of numbers in each column, or each row, or each main diagonal is (n+n3)/2 where n is the number of cells along the side of the square. To construct a square, (which must have an odd number of cells along each side) start with 1 in the middle of the top row. The rule is to try and put the next number in the next cell diagonally higher to the right. If that is outside the square at the top, drop to the bottom of the square. If outside to the right, go to the left edge of the square. If the cell is already occupied, fall back to the cell immediately below the last number you entered.


How do you solve a 3 x 3 magic square that equals 60?

Standard 3 x 3 has a common total of 15, so multiplying each cell by 4 would create such a square: 16/36/08 12/20/28 32/04/24 If you want the cells to contain consecutive numbers then you have to use 16 - 24: 19/24/17 18/20/22 23/16/21

Do you cancel existing phone service before using magic jack?

The answer is simply yes. Magic jack does not need this service nor does it use it to operate. However, you might need a regular phone or a cell phone to dial local numbers. Magic Jack now thinks that many local numbers are conference calls and requires that you to pay extra for that.
