. If the numbers a1,a2,…,a9 form a 3×3 magic square, then the numbers a1+d,a2+d,…,a9+d form a 3×3 magic square, too. Hence it is sufficient to divide all the numbers into parts with equal numbers of elements: i.e. from 40k+1 to 40(k+1),k=0,1,…,8. Then we need to arrange the least numbers of these parts (i.e. the numbers 1,41,81,…,321 ) in the form of a magic square (we omit here an example, it is similar to the magic square with numbers 1 , 2,…,9). After that all other numbers 1+s,41+s,…,321+s will also form a magic square (s=1,…,39), and so do the whole sums.
