Medjig method

 

For explanation of the Medjig method, see 6x6 magic square.

 

The first grid is a 2x2 'blown up' pure 5x5 magic square. Construct the second grid using 25 Medjig tiles.

 
I
n a (2x2) medjig tile are all the numbers from 0 up to 3, but each time in a different order. Take care that the sum of the numbers in each row/column/diagonal is (10 x 1,5 =) 15.

Take 1x number from first grid and add 25x number from the same cell of the second grid.

 

 

 1x number                                     + 25x number                           =    pure magic 10x10 square

Use this method to construct even magic squares.
