Description: The Durer and Loh Shu squares. Starting from basic operations, mathematical derive distinct squares from existing ones.
This is probably the most famous magic square. It is shown in Dürer's woodcut 'Melancholy' and its properties are that each row and each column and both diagonals add to the same sum of 34. This is called the magic sum. It also uses each of the numbers from 1 to 16 once and only once. This square has one extra property which is that each of the 2 x 2 squares in the corners and the 2 x 2 square in the centre all have the same sum of 34.
