From the "Kids' Corner" of the latest issue of Diabetes Forecast:
Magic Boxes
People who enjoy working with numbers sometimes draw what they call "magic" boxes. Here is a very ancient one. Can you see how it got its name? [Ed: Which part of the name? The "magic" part or the "box" part? Because I think I know how it got the box part! (with magic)]
2 7 6
9 5 1
4 3 8
[Ed: I think the thing that will help you solve this puzzle is remembering how ancient it is.]
