MAGIC SQUARE CONTEST

There seems to be some confusion with the final results of Al Zimmerman's Magic Squre Contest - perhaps the results are still being tabulated because of a technical glitch.

Apparently, Walter Trump and Hermann Jurksch have finished in a tie.

How can this be? One would think that computer programmers could figure out a way to score entries so a tie would be an unlikely event.

Anyway, the final results may still be in limbo and a change in the standings quite possible.

RETENTION MAGIC SQUARE CONTEST

PEOPLE DROPPING OUT

Al Zimmerman's contest is like a long and painful marathon. The computer programmers are dropping like a Lady Gaga lyric.

If I could go to Las Vegas and bet everything in the world I owned, I would place that bet on Walter Trump. He has got this one locked up like a Lady Gaga hit song.

Walter Trump is in second place and trails Hermann Jurksch by 0.001 points. Thats about as close as a paparazzi gets to Lady Gaga.

UPDATE

HERMANN JURKSCH HAS WON, CONGRADULATIONS HERMANN!!!!

As usual, I would have lost again. This is a lesson for all you young magic square enthusiasts - there is no future in gambling.

RETENTION MAGIC SQUARE CONTEST

A retention magic square is a magic square whose larger numbers surround smaller numbers forming retention lakes or ponds. Here is an example:


Finally there has been a change in the standings in Al Zimmerman's Magic Square Contest. As predicted in the April 12 Blog, the Germans are favored to do well in this contest.

The Germans are now one-two with Hermann Jurksch leading and Walter Trump trailing by only 0.004 points. Walter Trump is the favorite to win as he is one of the pioneers of Retention Magic Squares, a brilliant concept of combinatory mathematics.

Lady Gaga likes retention magic squares!!
