hi it's me again, who posted this question :roll:
yeah these are the answers my son has worked out and has taken to show to his teacher. i think i confused him by saying that we can't use same number again i.e. 4& 16. well i am happy he has worked out right answers by himself (what about me; BLUSH :oops: he is going to kill me over this matter now). anyways any clue for the question no.2 please, is it yes or no? i would like to thank all of you for response.

I think the answers you need to give are these:

1) In a product magic square the 3 numbers along each vertical, horizontal and diagonal when multiplied together give you the multiplication or product magic constant. This is 1728 for the first square, 2744 for the second and 512 for the last.

2) No, you don't need to know the product magic constant to produce the square because you can use the ratio method which I have given on the other discussion thread.

thanks deary
