A Complete Solution to the Magic Hexagram Problem.

Reiter, Harold; Ritchie, David

College Mathematics Journal, v20 n4 p307-16 Sep 1989

This article develops an algorithm to find all solutions to the problem, making all sums of a hexagram's nine lines the same. It shows how to exploit the geometric structure of the hexagram and its group of automorphisms. (YP)
