The

numbers chosen are any consecutive series of 9 even

numbers.
The numbers to be used are:

5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45

The sum of these numbers is 225. Divide by 3 the magic number is 75.
That means that all columns, rows and diagonals will add to 75,


The eight combination:
Note: The first combination started
45 + 25 + 5 = 75
with the largest number added to the
45 +20 + 10 = 75 smallest number and the difference
40 + 30 + 5 = 75 supplied the middle number. Then
40 + 25 + 10 = 75 the next largest number and smallest
40 + 20 + 15 = 75 number and so on. It is a pattern and
35 + 30 + 10 = 75 follows for any series of 9 numbers
35 + 25 + 15 = 75 chosen for a 3x3 matrix.
30 + 25 + 20 = 75
