Question
Is this magic possible on a 10 × 10 number chart? Go to the Chapter ‘Fun with Numbers’ and check.
Solution
check with a 10 × 10 number chart
Yes, the magic works in a 10 × 10 number chart also.
The cross lines- 1 + 12 + 23+ … + 89+ 100 = 505
and 10 + 19 + 28+ … + 82 + 91 = 505
As there is no middle line, we have to get average sum of both horizontal lines
5 + 15 + 25+ … + 95 and 6 + 16 + 26 + … 96 = 505
Average sum of both vertical lines
41 + 42 + 43 + … + 50 and 51 + 52 + 53 + … + 60 = 505.
Thus, the magic works here as well.
