Medjig method

 

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

 

The first grid is a 2x2 'blown up' pure 7x7 magic square. Construct the second grid using 49 Medjig tiles.

 
In a (2x2) medjig tile are all the numbers from 0 up to 3, but each time in a different order. Take care that the sum of the numbers in each row/column/diagonal is (14 x 1,5 =) 21.

Take 1x number from first grid and add 49x number from the same cell of the second grid.
