The site won't let me put in my magic square, so I will just have to explain how to make it and you will have to use your imagination.

Re: Add 13 more and post it forever.

All unique sequential numbers in your magic square, ZHero! smile

I constructed a magic square by hand like you did, Bobby, and drew up a 5577 x 5577 unitary magic square (ie, all digits are "1", and are non-unique and non-sequential). The verification process (ie, to check the row, column and diagonal sums) took quite a while because I chose to sum all those numbers in my head, but I finally got there! And it checks out! smile

I'm rather loath to give out my email address, so I'll pass on getting you to send me that file, Bobby. Sorry, 'bout that, after you went to all that trouble! roll

Great work phrontister, you are going to have to tell me how you did it someday. Wunderbar!

Ok.. But i guess that if you start with any n×n (n can be even or odd) magic square then you can change its magic sum by operating upon its numbers. However, i know that it would be really tedious to keep track of all the changes made if all the elements are operated inhomogeneously...

5603 = (3113+1331)+(31×13+13×31)+(313+131)-13×(3+1+3)

A trend of one exists between the size of the group of numbers above the first dotted line and that below it: the first group contains 50% more lines than the second group and has a "+" as each line's last operator instead of a "-".

I just noticed a faint, indiscernible orange splotchy blotch after each green-coloured number. Wonder if they mean anything.

Hi ZHero,

It would have been holey Swiss cheese - if the ugly mutt in that vid had sunk its teeth into it - instead of the real cheese that Tulip had. smile

Is that dog in the vid yours, Bobby, and is that you speaking? wink No one other than the dog's owner would ever call it cute!

The product of the two inner digits (7*3) less the sum of the two outer digits (5+3) = 21-8 = 13.

No offense taken (was there some that I missed?) while you refrain from saying anything other than nice things about my adorable Tulip. wink

Anyway, I'm thicker than that video mutt, so you're quite safe. smile

I'm quite impressed with your last number offering, but am unsure about how it fits into our current post # position.
