Question

Complete the three-by-three magic square (that is,the sums of the numbers in each row, in each column and in each of the diagonals are the same) using

Answer 1

 

$\displaystyle\\\text{We will use numbers from 1 to 9.}\\\\1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=\frac{9(9+1)}{2}=\frac{9\times10}{2}=\frac{90}{2}=\boxed{\bf45}\\\\\text{the sums of the numbers in each row, in each column are }=\frac{45}{3}=\boxed{\bf15}\\\\\text{Solution:}\\\\\boxed{\,2\,}\boxed{\,7\,}\boxed{\,6\,}\\\boxed{\,9\,}\boxed{\,5\,}\boxed{\,1\,}\\ \boxed{\,4\,}\boxed{\,3\,}\boxed{\,8\,}\\\\\text{Convenient rotation of the square gives 8 solutions.}$
