A 5x5 magic square is a grid filled with distinct integers from 1 to 25, arranged so that the sum of the numbers in each row, column, and both main diagonals equals the same magic constant, which is 65 for a 5x5 square. There are numerous configurations for a 5x5 magic square, with the most common methods including the Siamese method and the Strachey method. Each valid arrangement will meet the criteria of having unique integers and achieving the same sum across all rows, columns, and diagonals. There are 880 distinct 5x5 magic squares when accounting for rotations and reflections.
Think! What if the magic square had an even number of cells. There's your answer.
A 5 by 5 magic square with 7 in the center can be constructed by arranging numbers 1 through 25 in such a way that each row, column, and diagonal sums to the same magic constant. For a 5x5 magic square, the magic constant is 65. One possible arrangement with 7 in the center includes placing the numbers in a specific pattern around it while ensuring that all rows, columns, and diagonals add up to 65. An example configuration might look like this: 17 24 1 8 15 23 5 10 12 17 4 11 14 7 25 10 12 19 22 3 11 18 21 16 9 In this example, 7 is indeed at the center, and all rows, columns, and diagonals sum to 65.

Take any valid 4 x 4 magic square. For example: 9 6 3 16 4 15 10 5 14 1 8 11 7 1 10 16 Decrease every number by 6, so that the smallest number you will find in the square is -5, and the largest number in the square will be 10. This is a valid magic square for the set of numbers given and can be rotated any of four ways, and reflected either of two ways.
all sides of a square are the same length. Only opposite sides of a rectangle have equal length, adjacent sides do not.
Just take any magic square, and multiply every number by 5. Here you will get another magic square with all numbers multiples of 5.

-9 and 5 are two possible answers.
A magic square is a square full of numbers so that all rows and columns, and both diagonals, add up to the same number. For example: 2 7 6 9 5 1 4 3 8 Every row, every column and both the diagonals add up to 15.
magic squares are a type of puzzle in which all the rows and columns add up to the same sum or each column/row contains the same set of characters. Usually, a set of starting numbers or characters is given, and the other numbers or characters must be filled in. Sudoku is very similar to a magic square. 8 | 1 | 6 ------------ 3 | 5 | 7 ------------ 4 | 9 | 2 MAGIC GICMA CMAGI AGICM ICMAG
