is there a brief written description of what this problem means? i don't want to watch a 17min video

@hrothgar oh wait, does this mean a 3x3 magic square of perfect square numbers? if so the title should be edited

"magic numbers" is not a mathematical term as far as i know... "magic square" is, as is "square numbers". The problem is often called "magic square or squares"

will clarify it

What will you do if someone proves there are none? Resolve all NO? Or let them just go to 1% for eternity? Hmm. I notice this closes tomorrow or so... what is up with that?

@JussiVilleHeiskanen all resolve none

oops fixed

@strutheo None = NO or N/A? AI summary claims it is N/A, I hope it is NO.

@4fa no not na
