In the book, "the man who counted", there's a magic square made up by 9 small squares. The point of this square is, by using the number 1-9 only once, to have the sum of each line or column or diagonal always add up to 15.
Now, that may not be all that difficult, but my friend says there is a special pattern in which you enter the numbers in these squares. I wanted to find out myself, so... my question is what kind of math problems/exercises would help someone think "more mathematically", if you will, and prepare me to solve something like this?... any other info on this subject is welcome..
