Pig Latin Magic Square

 My friend David Brooks sent me this breaking Math News from Old Hickory, Tn on a newly discovered (June 8, 2014) Alpha-Magic Square :

consider  the following magic square:

Now this is the Pig-Latin (or if you prefer, Igpay Atinlay, notation of these same numbers:

Now count the number of letters in each word and replace them with the counts:

 

And in the words of Brahma Gupta..... BEHOLD!

My thanks to David Brooks the input... and I wondered, "Do students today still speak Pig-Latin?"

I recently learned that the idea of alphamagic squares is very young.  They were first invented by English Engineer and recreational mathematician Lee Sallows in 1986 Sallows, L. C. F. "Alphamagic squares." Abacus 4 (No. 1): 28-45, 1986.) Sallows is also known for inventing golygons, a polygon containing only right angles, such that adjacent sides exhibit consecutive integer lengths. He also recently discovered a very clever relationship about the triangles formed by the medians of another triangle, for which I was able to add a small extension.

It turns out that there is a surprisingly large number of alphamagic squares, not only in English but also in many other languages. In French, there is just one alphamagic square involving numbers up to 200, but an additional 255 squares if the size of the entries is increased to 300. For entries less than 100, none occurs in Danish or in Latin, but 6 occur in Dutch, 13 in Finnish, and an incredible 221 in German.

I have not seen a alphamagic square larger than 3x3, but they seem to be possible.....Anyone, Anyone, ......Bueller?

I live in France part time now and was interested in the single :

John D. Cook independently searched all candidates by computer and reported:

"My script did not find a French alphamagic with entries no larger than 200, but it did find 254 squares with entries no larger than 300."  (Close enough for me John!)

Here is the original with French spellings of the numbers, I leave it to the reader to confirm the magic square with the word lengths....

    3      204    102

202      103        4

104         2     203  

and the French spelling (I am told) is 

trois	deux cent quatre	cent deux

deux cent deux       cent trois                       quatre

cent quatra                 duex                       deux cent trois

If anybody knows a bi-magic square larger than a three by three I would love to see it.
