Each magic sum

 

Choose a magic sum and construct a (not pure) 5x5 panmagic square, using the pattern below.

 

a

b+1

c+2

d+3

e+4

c+3

d+4

e

a+1

b+2

e+1

a+2

b+3

c+4

d

b+4

c

d+1

e+2

a+3

d+2

e+3

a+4

b

c+1

 

 

Take care that a, b, c, d and e differ a minimum of 5 to always get 25 different numbers in the square. See for example the 5x5 panmagic square with magic sum of 999.

 

    999 999 999 999 999      
  999           999    
999   187 194 200 206 212      
999   201 207 208 188 195   999 999
999   209 189 196 202 203   999 999
999   197 198 204 210 190   999 999
999   205 211 191 193 199   999 999

Construct a magic square with the names of yourself and your 4 friends. I constructed a magic square of the glitter club.

 

 

Tessa = 200 + 5 + 100 + 100 + 1 = 406
Demi = 4 + 5 + 40 + 9 = 58
Anouk = 1 + 50 + 60 + 300 + 20 = 431
Laura
= 30 + 1 + 300 + 90 + 1 = 422
Michelle
= 40 +9 + 3 + 8 +5 + 30 + 30 + 5 = 130
