Magic Square 30

◆◆ · Por SamuRai · Publicado 2024-05-18T02:28:30.677Z

Constructor's Note
This is my first magic square puzzle (revised after a typo in the grid on the initial release). Each cell contains a number from 0 to 15. Enter 10-15 using the rebus function. Entries for each row, column, and the four 2x2 squares will add to 30. The clues give two or three digit answers which fit in the corresponding two cells. For example an answer of 115 could either fit in the two cells as 1-15 or 11-5. Cells without clues can be solved for using the sums to 30 rule. Please let me know if you enjoy this format. Future versions may use non-consecutive numbers and an unspecified total to be used as a meta answer. Good luck!
Thanks goes to either heron or kurtalert (my memory fails me as I quickly deleted it, but they both have a keen editorial eye) for quickly catching the mistake in my initial release (I’d reused a number inadvertently in building the magic square).

    Very nice! I was also most of the way through the original puzzle and was getting frustrated with the mistake lol

      I apologize most sincerely to you and anyone else this happened to. Insomnia and puzzle writing aren’t a great mix.

      Nice! In 11-across, the answer appears in the clue, I think that was unintentional?

        Good catch. Fixed. It was a copy-paste issue from the picture of the previous puzzle, since grids with bars cannot be exported as .puz files.

        Very interesting puzzle, thanks! Look forward to more.
        The NE corner got me — I had somehow convinced myself that entries needed to be in the range of 1 to 15. But I saw zero would work in both directions, checked your note, and figured it out!
        3D is a very interesting fact! (Some small typos in the clue.) Loved 5A as well.
        In 1D the clue seems to be cut off (this would have helped me with 1A!) In 9D there is a small typo in ARPANET.
        I didn’t get 3D. Hint appreciated!

          Edits made. Many thanks for the comments.
          For 3D, Before=B4 (base-12)=11x12+4=136.
          In bases greater than 10, A=10, B=11, C=12 and so on. Could make for a fun base-36 puzzles since all letters and numbers are used.
