1. An alternative method
to construct
“Magic Square 3x3”
Conditions:
1. We are going to complete this magic
square with integers 1 to 9.
2. The Sum of the Numbers is 15 (SN=15)
3. We are not tend to find out Desired
Number (DN).

2. Step 1
Construct blank
magic square 3x3.
(Third Order)

3. Step 2
Fill every corner
(yellow) with even
number; 2,4, 6,8
in “z-mode
sequence” as
shown in diagram.

8

4. Step 3
Fill the blank blue
boxes with this
calculation.

2 + ___ + 4 = 15
6 + ___ + 8 = 15
2 + ___ + 6 = 15
4 + ___ + 8 = 15
Remember:
The Sum of the
numbers is 15

5. Step 4
Complete the
blank blue boxes

9
2 + ___ + 4 = 15
1
6 + ___ + 8 = 15
7
2 + ___ + 6 = 15

6. Step 5
“The missing
number” is 5
2
Insert 5 in the
middle of this
magic square.

7. “The Outcome”
Sum of the numbers
in this third order is
15. Sometimes, 15
is called as
“Starting Number” (
SN = 15 )
