hey friend,
i hope this answer is correct and helpful..
A magic square is an NxN matrix in which every row, column, and diagonal add up to the same number. Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician. He had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, but made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. When he was 12 years old, someone gave him a trigonometry book, and he taught himself. At 16 years old, a friend of his family gave him a math encyclopedia with over 6,000 theorems. That was all the math training he had. At age 23, he generated a formula that would calculate all primes up to 100,000,000. He then was invited to move to Cambridge and there he proved or conjectured over 3,000 results, including the best algorithms we have to this day for generating the digits of pi. He died at age 32. Ramanujan created a super magic square. The top row is his birthdate (December 22, 1887). This is a super magic square because not only do the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to the same number, but the four corners, the four middle squares (17, 9, 24, 89), the first and last rows two middle numbers (12, 18, 86, 23), and the first and last columns two middle numbers (88, 10, 25, 16) all add up to the sum of 139.
