Pan-diagonal Magic Square

Choose and click on a difficulty level button.

Then arrange all of the the numbers on the grid so that:

  • each vertical, horizontal and diagonal adds to 58,
  • any four numbers forming a square add to 58,
  • when the top row is moved to the bottom, or vice versa, the diagonals still add to 58,
  • when the left hand column is moved to the right hand side, or vice versa, the diagonals still add to 58, and
  • the four corners always add to 58!

This puzzle is just one of the 500 puzzles in the Tenix Questacon Maths Squad — an outreach program which travels around Australia making maths fun for everyone!
