Do you know the magic square? These magic squares attract the people where the same number will get on calculating any of the rows from any side. This kind of wonderful magic square is founded by one of the Mathematics scientist named Albreck Durer around 600 years ago. This game is recorded as the first time published in Europe. This magic square which is been prepared on a iron sheet which is thin with 4×4 rows is preserved carefully in the British museum even for today. Durer who is also a painter has drawn a picture of a person who is in the posture of sitting has placed this magic square sheet in that.

It is very common to get the same number if we add the down, straight and the edge numbers in the magic square game. In this way, there come 24 in this game. It is not getting the same number in three ways but there comes the same number by adding in any way from any rows to any sides. If one wants to know that by adding what number the whole magic is revealed, one has to look at the green colored rows.

In the same way, there is a specialty in the last straight row. Just have a look at the middle two numbers. They are 14 and 15 numbers. If those two numbers are placed one after the other in the same row, there comes the year in which Durer has founded this magic square game. In that series, the first number 4 resembles the first which is the last number in the same row is another part of his name. It is the alphabet ‘A’ in his name which is the first in his name.
