Magic Square 8 X 8 Comments

Kim, Looking forward to showing you more about Magic Squares when I get back on the 29th. In the pattern, the A.4 X4 = 34, the B.4 X 4 = 98, the C.4 X 4 = 162 and the D.4 X 4 = 226. A & D add up to 260, and C and B add up to 260. So the Vertical lines are all correct, just have to fix the horizontal lines and the diagonal lines. Using the Bowtie pattern, I have made a 10 X 10,12 X 12,14 X 14 and a 16 X 16 magic square. It could go on forever! ! .

Very interesting, but I'm afraid I don't quite understand it. I mean, I understand what a magic square is, and how all the lines must total the same number, but I don't get how you go about solving it so easily as you seem to have done. You will have to explain it to me when you get back from Thailand.
