Classic Parker Square
Explanation: Okay so anyone that watches either Numberphile or Matt Parker will understand this anyway however I’m gonna explain it anyway. So Matt Parker (A mathematician) Tried to make a 3x3 magic square made of square numbers, in the video showing this square off (reference[1] at the bottom of thread) it is pointed out that it isn’t a magic square; it is a semi-magic square. The joke is that the square should follow these two rules
- All cells should have unique numbers
- All rows, columns and diagonals should add up to the same number
And Matt Parker’s square does none, and therefore its a failed attempt.
