This work brings more concepts in magic squares. In past we studied a lot of upside-down and mirror looking magic squares. These are based some kind of digital/special fonts. To understand better let’s consider the following 10 digits from 0 to 9:

Let’s make 180 degrees rotation over the above 10 digits, we get

We observe that the numbers 0, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 are still there. The difference is that 6 becomes 9.

Let’s see how these numbers can seen in mirror:

We observe that the numbers 0, 1, 2, 5 and 8 are still there. In this case the numbers 2 and 5 interchanges, i.e., 2 becomes 5 and 5 as 2.

In general there are two kinds of flips, i.e., horizontal flip and vertical filp. See the image below:

Making vertical flip over the digits 0 to 9, we get

We observe the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 remains the same. The numebrs 0, 1, 2, 5 and 8 are already in mirror looking except the number. That’s why we call these numbers as universal numbers. Here also 2 becomes 5 and 5 as 2. Thus using vertical flip, we get an extra number as 3. Let’s call the operation as water reflection. This means that the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 are water reflexive.

The aim this work is write magic squares based on the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8, where 3 is always there, i.e., making combinations of 3 with the numbers 0, 1, 2, 5 and 8. This work is for orders 14 to 16. Full work can be downloaded from the following link:

Magic and Bimagic Squares of Order 25

Thus, we have three examples of pandiagonal bimagic squares of order 25 having 5-digits cells entries with five numbers combinations (1, 2, 3, 5, 8), (0, 2, 3, 5, 8) and (0, 1, 2, 3, 5). These three are having water reflection property. The internal blocks of order 5 are pandiagonal magic squares with equal magic sums.

Thus, we have four examples of water reflection pandiagonal magic squares of order 25 having 6-digits cells entries with 3 numbers combinations (2, 3, 5), (1, 3, 8), (0, 3, 8) and (0,1, 3). The internal blocks of order 5 are pandiagonal magic square with different magic sums.

Above we have three examples of water reflection pandigonal magic squares of order 25 having 10-digits cells entries with 2 numbers combinations (3, 8), (1, 3) and (0, 3). In each case, the internal blocks of order 5 are pandiagonal magic squares with different magic sums.
