Why it works

Every row, column and diagonal must total the same magic sum; a line missing one number is fixed by the rest.

Background & Explore Further

Magic squares appear in Dürer's Melencolia I, in temple yantras, and in the design of balanced experiments. Explore how the 3×3 square is essentially unique up to rotation and reflection.
