The work is from the orders 8 to 45. In each case, all the possibilities are considered. These possibilities are based on divisions of magic squares. The magic sums of order nof consecutive numbers from 1 to n2is given by Sn×n:= n×(1 + n2) 2, n ≥3.(1) This formula is applied to all order magic squares. Based on this formula we shall brink blocks for the block-wise magic squares. That is, whenever is possible, we shall try to bring blocks of equal sum magic squares. In some cases, they are magic,semi-magic,pandiagonal, etc. When the question come to bimagic squares, in some cases, we have semi-bimagic squares. On the other hand the idea of bordered magic squares is well explained in the work by H.White [4, 5]. Few results in this direction can be seen in author’s work [26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31]. In some case, the magic rectangles are also used to write it in different styles. Most of the author’s work on magic squares is summarized below in details according to topic: 1. Digital Fonts: Upside-down and Mirror Looking. 2. Two Digits Universal Magic Squares. 3. Different Digits Magic Squares. 4. Pythagorean Triples Magic Squares. 5. Block-Wise Magic Squares. 6. Selfie and Palindromic Type Magic Squares. 7. Block Bordered Magic Squares. 8. Block-Wise Bordered Magic Squares. 9. Magic Crosses, Letters and Numbers. 10. Cornered Magic Squares. 11. Single-Digit Bordered Magic Squares. 12. Double-Digit Bordered Magic Squares. 13. Multiple-Digit Bordered Magic Squares. 14. Striped Magic Squares. 3 Inder J.

Upside-down and Mirror Looking. 16. Water reflection Magic Squares. 17. Algebraic Maic Squares. The aim of this work is to write magic squares of order 16 in different ways and styles using the aspects of blocks, bordered,block-bordered and magic rectangles,corner-type,single-digit,double-digit, etc. More details on these works on magic squares can be seen in author’s web-sites: (i) https://numbers-magic.com/?p=668 (ii) https://inderjtaneja.wordpress.com/2019/06/27/publications-magic-squares/ 2 Different Types of Magic Squares of Order 15 According to Equation (1), the magic sum of order 15 is given by S15×15 := 15 ×(1 + 152) 2= 1695. We can write, 15 := 3 ×5. This gives the possibilities of blocks of orders 3 and 5. Let’s see the divisions of magic square sum 1695 by 5 and 3: (i)1595 5= 339 =⇒equal or unequal sum blocks of order 3; (ii)29679 3= 565 =⇒equal sum blocks of order 5. 2.1 Block-Wise Magic Squares Example 2.1. 4 Inder J.

For the consecutive odd numbers entries {1,3,5,...,447,449}, a pandiagonal magic square of order 15 is given by 19 Inder J. Taneja https://inderjtaneja.wordpress.com; https://numbers-magic.com Different Types and Aspects of Magic Squares of Order 15, Zenodo, November 10, 2025, pp. 1-63, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17567132 Example 3.3. For the consecutive natural numbers entries {113,114,115,...,336,337}, a pandiagonal magic square of order 15 is given by In both the Examples 3.2 and 3.3, the magic sums are equal. The blocks of order 5 are pandiagonal magic squares with equal magic sums. See below the details: S15×15 := 3375; T225 := 15 ×3375 = 50625 = 2252= 154; S5×5= 1125; T25 := 5 ×1125 = 5625 = 752. The Examples 3.2 and 3.3 also satisfy the uniformity property, i.e., D15,152,153,154E. 20 Inder J.

For the consecutive odd numbers entries {65,67,...,511,513}, a pandiagonal magic square of order 15 is given by 21 Inder J. Taneja https://inderjtaneja.wordpress.com; https://numbers-magic.com Different Types and Aspects of Magic Squares of Order 15, Zenodo, November 10, 2025, pp. 1-63, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17567132 Example 3.5. For the consecutive natural numbers entries {177,178,...,400,401}, a pandiagonal magic square of order 15 is given by In both the Examples 3.4 and 3.5, the magic sums are equal. The blocks of order 3 are semi-magic squares with equal semi-magic sums. See below the details: S15×15 := 4335; T225 := 15 ×4335 = 65025 = 2552 Sm3×3:= 867; T225 := 3 ×867 = 2601 = 512. Both the Examples 3.4 and 3.5 are generated by Pythagorean triple (32, 255, 257), i.e., 322+2552=2572with least possible sum of entries resulting in a perfect square sum. 22 Inder J.

The same terms are given in paint brush of microsoft. Let’s see how it works on numbers. Let’s consider following 9 digits written in digital form: 24 Inder J. Taneja https://inderjtaneja.wordpress.com; https://numbers-magic.com Different Types and Aspects of Magic Squares of Order 15, Zenodo, November 10, 2025, pp. 1-63, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17567132 •180oRotation In this case, the readable numbers are 0, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 where the number 6 becomes 9 and 9 as 6. Thus the survival numbers after 180orotation are 0, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9. Sometimes we call them as upside-down numbers. •Mirror Looking It is same as horizontal flip as describe above. In this case, we have In this case, the readable numbers are 0, 1, 2, 5 and 8, where 2 becomes 5 and 5 as 2. Thus the survival numbers after horizontal flip are 0, 1, 2, 5 and 8. Sometimes we call them as mirror-looking numbers. •Water Reflection It is same as vertical flip as describe above. In this case, we have In this case, the readable numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8, where 2 becomes 5 and 5 as 2. Thus the survival numbers after vertical flip are 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8. For the first time we call these numbers as water reflection or water reflexive numbers. We observe that the numbers 0, 1, 2, 5 and 8 are in all the three situations, i.e., these are upside-down,mirrorlooking and water reflexive. We call them as universal numbers provided they are written in digital form. There left only one number 3. It is only water reflexive. While the numbers 6 and 9 are only upside-down. There is a lot of work by author on upside-down and mirror-looking numbers. This work is concentrated only towards magic squares having water reflexive numbers, i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8. The numbers 0, 1, 2, 5 and 8 are already studied previously. This work brings magic squares of order 14 to 16 specially in number 3 along with 0, 1, 2, 5 and 8. 25 Inder J.
