Magic Numbers

It's just magic that's all.

A magic square is made up of numbers arranged in a square pattern so that when you add up the numbers in any horizontal, vertical row or corner to corner diagonal, you always get the same answer.

Look at the magic square...

Vertical:
8 + 1 + 6 = 15
3 + 5 + 7 = 15
4 + 9 + 2 = 15

Horizontal:
8 + 3 + 4 = 15
1 + 5 + 9 = 15
6 + 7 + 2 = 15

Diagonal
8 + 5 + 2 = 15
6 + 5 + 4 = 15

Every row, column, and diagonal corner to corner, adds to 15.
