MAGIC SQUARE

The numbers to be used are:

33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41
The sum of these numbers is 333. Divide that by 3 and the magic
number is 111. So all of the rows, columns, and diagonals will equal
111 when added together.
To carry out the plan we find the sums of 111 in 8 ways as:
41 + 37 + 33 = 111
number added

To find the sums, start with the largest

41 + 36 + 34 = 111
middle

to the smallest and the difference is the

40 + 38 + 33 = 111
largest and

number. Then you move to the next

40 + 37 + 34 = 111
to create a

smallest number, and so on as a pattern

40 + 36 + 35 = 111

3 x 3 matrix with 9 numbers.

39 + 38 + 34 = 111
39 + 37 +35 = 111
38 +37 + 36 = 111
