LUX methode van John Horton Conway
Je kunt ook de Medjig methode gebruiken zonder te hoeven puzzelen. Deze methode is ook wel bekend als de LUX methode van John Horton Conway. De drie letters staan voor drie verschillende Medjig tegels, waarbij de 1, 2, 3 [en 4] als je denkbeeldige rechte lijnen tussen de cijfers trekt, een L (zie rood gemar- keerd), een U (zie geel gemarkeerd) of een X (zie blauw gemarkeerd) vormen. Tel bij een getal uit het LUX patroon, 4x een [getal minus 1] uit het 2x2 ‘opgeblazen’ magische 9x9 vierkant op.
Neem 1x getal uit LUX patroon
