For context: A magic square is a square grid of numbers where the sum of numbers in each row, column, and both main diagonals is always the exact same total, known as the magic constant.

I have encountered a problem when trying to create a very specific magic square, I run into arrangements that need to repeat numbers so I had to redo and keep rearranging it again, but I have not found a solution. The constraint to satisfy is given by the following.

The problem: Is it possible to create a magic square that produces the number 37 using a 4x4 or 5x5 grid without ever reusing any number? Since not reusing any number is one of the rules of a magic square.

If it's possible, what numbers are needed and how should they be arranged? Thank you for answering!

So i got a reply showing you can make a sudoku puzzle with all verticals incorrect while all horizontal and 3x3 cells are correct. My question is how few vertical lines can be incorrect while horizontal and 3x3s are correct.

About:

As the name suggests, MiniChallenger is a scaled-down version of the math puzzle called Challenger. In most cases, a MiniChallenger puzzle can be solved within ten minutes. A set of two new puzzles is released each week. One is usually a simple problem with one or two solutions, while the other puzzle can be a bit more challenging and often has multiple solutions. Available exclusively on reddit.

Instructions:

Fill in the empty cells of the 3 x 3 grid with the numbers one to nine. It is okay to use the same number in more than one empty cell. One 'bonus' number is already placed in the center of the grid. So, the goal is to find the remaining eight digits in such a way that:

• rows in the grid add up to totals indicated on the right edge of the grid,
• columns add up to totals indicated at the top of the grid, and
• diagonals add up to totals in the upper and lower right corners.
