12x12 magic square

Medjig 12x12 magic square

 

For explanation of the Medjig method, see 6x6 magic square.

 

Use as first grid 6x6 medjig tiles and as second grid the '2x2 blown up' version of the 6x6 magic square to construct a (simple) 12x12 magic square.

 

Take a number from a cell of the first grid +1 and add (number -/- 1) x 4 from the same cell of the second grid.
