What's a panmagic square?
- A.
It is a magic square with additional property than the broken diagonals
- B.
It is a square with additional property than the broken diagonals
- C.
It is a magic square with reduced property than the broken diagonals
- D.
It is a magic square with additional sides than the broken diagonals
Correct Answer
A. It is a magic square with additional property than the broken diagonalsExplanation
A panmagic square is a type of magic square that has an additional property beyond just the broken diagonals. This means that not only do the rows, columns, and diagonals of the square add up to the same number, but there is also another property or rule that the square follows. The answer choice "It is a magic square with additional property than the broken diagonals" correctly captures this definition.Rate this question:

How many jigsaw pieces exist in the geometrical square?
- A.
16
- B.
18
- C.
20
- D.
22
Correct Answer
A. 16Explanation
The question asks for the number of jigsaw pieces in a geometrical square. A square typically consists of four sides, and each side can be divided into four equal parts to form a jigsaw. Therefore, there would be a total of 4 x 4 = 16 jigsaw pieces in the geometrical square.Rate this question:

- C.
K + a+ b
- D.
K + f + f
Correct Answer
B. K+ c+ dExplanation
In the given magic geometric square, the symbol "k+ c+ d" represents a small square shape. This can be inferred from the arrangement of the symbols in the square. The other options do not match the given arrangement and therefore, do not symbolize a small square shape.Rate this question:
