Four Corners Maths Problem 1999-02-16
From Helen Williams:
I am currently a student teacher in the UK and I have to write a 1000 word report on the following maths problem which I am completely stuck on! PLease HELP!! Choose and 3 by 3 section of the hundred square. Add the total of the four corners. How many different groups of four numbers can you find that add up to that number? eg,
123
111213
212223
Total of 4 corners add up to 48.

Adding 2, 13, 22, 11 also make 48 etc..

How many different groups of 4 numbers would add up to 48?

How would these results compare with thoses obtained from a 3 by 3 square in which the numbers are consective? eg,
123
456
789

PLEASE HELP AS I AM COMPLETELY STUCK? WHY DO ALL THESE DIFFERENT WAYS ADD UP TO THE SAME NUMBER??
