Magic squares game

A method of manipulating elements arranged in a grid defining a 5×5 matrix, each of said elements having a first surface with distinct indicia disposed thereon, said elements being removably disposable on said grid and said elements further including a distinct coloration on said first surface, the method comprising:

• arranging said elements on said grid;
• manipulating said elements on said grid;
• and
• forming a magic square on said grid in accordance with said distinct indicia and distinct coloration disposed on said elements;
• wherein said magic square is characterized by a defined relationship in accordance with said distinct indicia and said distinct coloration, said magic square further defining five groups of five elements, and
• wherein the five elements of each group have the same distinct colorization, and each group has a different distinct colorization from the other groups.

A method of manipulating elements arranged in a grid defining a 5×5 matrix, each of said elements having a first surface with distinct indicia disposed thereon, said elements being removably disposable on said grid, and said elements further including a distinct coloration on said first surface, said method being operable on at least one computer system having at least one display device, at least one input device, at least one data storage device, and at least one calculation means, the method comprising:

• displaying a grid defining a matrix on said display device;
• arranging said elements on said grid using said input device to select and insert said elements therein;
• manipulating said elements on said grid using said input device;
• and
• forming a magic square on said matrix by arranging said elements, said magic square further defining five groups of five elements;
• and
• wherein the five elements of each group have the same distinct colorization, and each group has a different distinct colorization from the other groups.

An article of manufacture comprising a computer program readable by at least one computer system and embodying one or more instructions executable by the at least one computer system to perform a method for performing a magic squares computer game on the at least one computer system, the at least one computer system having at least one display device, at least one input device, and at least one data storage device, the method comprising:

• displaying a grid defining a matrix on said display device;
• arranging said elements on said grid;
• manipulating said elements on said grid;
• and
• forming a magic square on said matrix, said magic square further defining five groups of five elements;
• and
• wherein the five elements of each group have the same distinct colorization, and each group has a different distinct colorization from the other groups.
