Magic Square and Myself

Me and the Game

I have been a huge fan of Magic Squares and have spent several hours spending my time on it to explore more and more since I was younger in a school. The first time I learned this game, when I was in Grade 5 and I found this in mathematics. In the curriculum it was just the introduction of the order of 3x3 Magic Square and the rules to play with a solution of Magic Square Puzzle with Magic Constant 15. While I was a kid, one of my teacher challenged me to solve a puzzle and the first time I was so crazy to solve a puzzle of order 3x3 with Magic Constant of 111111 and I actually solved it but it took me a whole day to solve the puzzle. Because off that challenge, I became crazy about the Magic Square. I wanted to find a way to solve the Magic Square Puzzles. In those years, it used to be a popular game in India and Nepal and the puzzles were published in some newspapers but I had no idea about it as I was just a kid. After a couple of years, I got an idea with one my friend who had studied some tricks to solve the puzzles somewhere and later on, I got some more ideas when I was in grade 6. I merged a couple of ideas to solve the puzzles of 3x3. I started exploring more and then I found a way to solve many puzzles and I derived some formulas to solve Magic Square easily. In those periods, there were no computers and I had no idea about computer until I was in Grade 7. Yet, I had no computer or internet. In Grade 6, I found ways to solve Magic Square Puzzle of Orders 3x3, 5x5, 7x7, 9x9, 11x11 and 13x13. And, then I stopped working on it because it was too big to work in a piece of paper and in fact, it was not useful for any other purposes. I stopped completely working on it until 2015 and I started again because I had to create a software for my undergraduate Final Year Project and I thought off it as it was interesting to me. I really wanted to develop a software which can be played with computer and finally, I created a demo version of Magic Square in 2016. And then again, I got busier with my work and my further studies with Master until the lock-down with COVID-19 in 2020. I didn't find any job after the completion of my master and I was free, I thought again about finalizing the software development which I had started in between 2015 and 2016. I wanted to be busier doing something of my own. This time, I thought of doing bigger and I started looking over internet about the largest puzzles solved so far and I found that one man in India had solved a Magic Square of Order 101x101 and he was awarded for it and this gave me a motivation to do something bigger. I knew that if i will work on it I will do great because I had ideas since long time ago. Then, I started again with my research and development and I have solved Magic Square of Orders 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, 8x8, 9x9, 11x11, 13x13, 15x15, 17x17, 19x19, 21x21, 151x151 and 4141x4141 so far. I wanted to break the last world record which was made in Germany by some Professors and Scientists and I have successfully broken that last record of order 3559x3559. I have made a new world record of solving a magic square of order 4141x4141 where I have used all the numbers from 1 to 17,147,881 to get a Magic Constant of 35,504,689,681 which is the biggest Magic Square Puzzle solved so far. It took me about three weeks to solve. I have solved this puzzle manually using some Programming Skills which took me three weeks to solve this puzzle. If I have to print the puzzle, it will be around 136,000 pages in a square format with an Arial font of size 11 and the minimum of size 6 would be around 50,000 pages of A4 sized papers with very tiny numbers. With my theory and my derivation, I can solve any Magic Square Odd orders until infinity and can solve all the Magic Square Puzzles of those orders and I can do it manually even in papers if I have to do that which is obviously quite challenging thing to do for larger orders. It will take around three years to solve the Magic Square of order 4141x4141 writing on papers. It wouldn't not have been easy for me to solve without using some programming skills. I solved the Magic Square of Puzzle of Order 151x151 manually without using programming at all which took me around three weeks to solve.

Now, I am working on writing theories and evidences that could help in further studies and keep the theories in mathematics curriculum which has been lost in many countries because off its complexity. I have found ways which are very easy to learn and solve the Magic Square Puzzles. I am willing to give this world a never ending game with millions of levels to play throughout the entire life from a kid to old aged. Sudoku has been derived from it and there are millions of lovers of the Sudoku game in the world. I woulk like to give them all a new challenging game to solve. It's the game which will sharpen the mind, improve your concentration and for the people with dull mind to the genius minded person. Solving this puzzle, I have come to know some other concepts on network topology, larger project management, smart road constructions, hierarchies and astronomy. This is why, I called this game a mysterious game which has several hidden concepts. I am not sure how much my other ideas will be valid but I have got some concepts. The more you will learn, the more concepts you will have. I would be happy to discuss my ideas if some people are looking for such ideas.
