My numbers are 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23

What do I need to do? add up all the numbers: 15+16+17+18+19+20+21+22+23= 171

If I place my numbers in order, I can figure out the pattern of how many times each number will
be used:

15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23

2 3 2 3 4 3 2 3 2

*Pattern of which we will use the numbers. Number 3s will be used in the corners, number 4
will be used in the middle, and number 2s will be used in the other spaces

Next: divide 171 by 3= 57. The number 57 is my magic number. This means, any way I add,
whether vertical, horizontal or diagonal, my numbers need to total 57.

15+19+23=57 15+22+20=57 16+20+21=57 16+18+23=57

16+19+22=57 17+18+22=57 17+19+21=57 18+19+20=57

What do I need to do?
