To create a 6 by 6 magic square, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Mark the diagonals of the square and fill the marked cells by counting from the upper right corner.<\/li>
  2. Mark a W pattern in the lower half of the square and fill by counting from the lower right corner.<\/li>
  3. Mark a W pattern in the left half of the square and fill by counting from the upper left corner.<\/li>
  4. Fill the empty cells by counting from the lower left corner.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    First, draw the square and mark the cells located on the diagonals. Those cells are filled with the numbers counted from the upper right corner. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The result is\u00a0a 6 by 6 magic square, the sums of the numbers in each row, each\u00a0column and each diagonal\u00a0being equal to 111. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
