Weyhey, here's only the second ever Hypotenews competition page.
Heard of MAGIC SQUARES? well here's a 3×3 magic square.
| 2 | 7 | 6 |
| 9 | 5 | 1 |
| 4 | 3 | 8 |
The magic square has the digits 1-9 in it and all of the rows, columns and diagonals add up to the same thing, in this case 15
So no problem yet, here's the competition => solve the 5×5s magic square
| 13 | ||||
Put the numbers 1-25 in the grid above, such that each row, column and diagonal adds up to 65 then give you answers to either your maths teacher by half-term (sorry Reading Week) and after half term (Reading Week) we'll give somebody who got the answer right a ten pound book token.
