    The document shows that the numbers 2 through 10 can be arranged in a 3x3 matrix such that the sums of all columns, rows, and diagonals equal 18. It provides an example arrangement where the first combination is 10 + 6 + 2 = 18, and explains that this pattern will hold for any series of 9 numbers arranged in a 3x3 matrix.

    The numbers being used are 2-10

    2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
    The sum of these numbers is 108. Divide by 3 and the magic
    number is 18. Meaning that all columns, rows, and diagonals will
    add to 18.

    The eight combinations are:


    10 + 6 + 2 = 18
    Note: The first combination started
    with the largest number added to the
    smallest number and the difference
    supplied the middle number. Then the
    next largest number and the smallest
    number and so on. It is a pattern and
    follows for any series of 9 numbers
    chooses for a 3 X 3 matrix.

    10 + 5 + 3 = 18
    9 + 7 + 2 = 18
    9 + 6 + 3 = 18
    9 + 5 + 4 = 18
    8 + 7 + 3 = 18
    8 + 6 + 4 = 18
    7 + 6 + 5 = 18
