    Magic Square
AI Thread Summary
A 3x3 cube needs to be filled with numbers from 8 to 16 so that the sum of each row, column, and diagonal equals 36. An initial attempt resulted in an incorrect diagonal sum of 33, but a corrected configuration was provided: 13, 8, 15 14, 12, 10 9, 16, 11 This arrangement successfully meets the requirement. The discussion also briefly touches on the nature of the arrangement, questioning if it qualifies as a square. A link to a related article from Science News is included for further reference.

The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
