Medjig method

 

The first grid is a 2x2 'blown up' pure 3x3 magic square. Construct the second grid using 9 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 (6 x 1,5 =) 9.

Take 1x number from first grid and add 9x number from the same cell of the second grid.

 

 

 1x number               +  9x number              =   pure magic 6x6 square
