4×4 Magic Square for Any-Date/ Any-Nnumbers
H.D. Motiramani
Want to learn making a magic square for any four numbers? It is very easy’
Suppose the four numbers are A,B,C and D. the sum total of any row or column or diagonal will be A+B+C+D. Let us place the se four numbers as follows:
|
A |
B |
C |
D |
→ |
The numbers designated as A, B, C and are in sequence from Left to right |
|
D |
C |
B |
A |
← |
The numbers are in sequence from right to left |
|
B |
A |
D |
C |
→ |
The numbers A&B are reversed, Likewise numbers C& D are reversed |
|
C |
D |
A |
B |
→ |
The numbers in each column are other than the three numbers in the same column above |
Now let us try to build a magic square for 15th August 2022. We can place the four numbers 15, 8, 20 and 22 in place of A, B, C and D and build the magic square.

15 |
22 |
20 |

20 |
22 |
15 |
8 |
↑The Sum total of 15+8+20+22=65 in this case. We can see that the total for each row/ each column or any diagonal is 65. That is the reason it is called a magic Square. We can build the magic square for any four numbers or any birth date. Another example for 26th Jan 1950 with a total 26+1+19+50=96 is shown below:
