  1. Magic squares of order 4 with a magic constant of 34 had been around for hundreds of years before Dürer. But no matter, they’re still fun. 😉

  2. Here is one I created, in only 30 seconds on 30/03/2003. The numbers all add up to 30, as above. My initials are C.C. C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet!

    15 2 1 12
    4 9 10 7
    8 5 6 11
    3 14 13 0

    Admittedly I had the benefit of Albrecht Durer’s square from which to work. 🙂

    Oh, and I created it today and not in 2003, and my initials are not really C. C.
    Double 🙂
