Shift method (1)

 

The 21x21 magic square is odd but also a multiple of 3. You can use the shift method to construct a 21x21 magic square but with boundary conditions. Take as first row of the first and/or second grid 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7- 8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21and you get only a semi-magic 21x21 square. Take as first row of the first and/or second grid 0-2-1-3-4-5-8-7-6-11-10-9-13-12-14 and you get a panmagic 21x21 square.
 
The row 0-2-1-4-3-5-8-7-6-9-10-11-13-12-14-17-16-15-19-20-18 leads to a valid 21x21 panmagic square, because [yellow marked] 0+4+8+9+13+17+19 = [blue marked] 2+3+7+10+12+16+20 = [pink marked] 1+5+6+11+14+15+18 = 70, that is 1/3 of (0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 +9+10+11+12+13+14+ 15+16+17+18+19+20=) 210.
