- I hope this is not a FAQ. I have posted the same question on rec.puzzles.
- Given numbers from 1 to 16, arrange them on a 4 by 4 - magic square such that
- when added them diagonally, horizontally, and vertically would yield the same
- number. Is there any algorithm do this problem ? The solution may not be
- unique. Can we use the solution from a simultaneous equations ?

- I posted this earlier (today) and I found empty mail - hence I am posting again.
- Thanks.
