%N Magic constants of 5 X 5 magic squares which consist of consecutive primes.

%C Let Z be the sum of 25 consecutive primes. The necessary condition to get a magic square of these primes is: z = 5(2m + 1), where m is natural number. The magic constant of expected square is S = 2m + 1.

%C The first array of consecutive primes, which satisfies this condition, can be obtained for m = 156. This array gives the smallest magic square with magic constant 313.

%C But not every array of 25 consecutive primes, satisfying the above condition, can be arranged into a magic square. Of the first 50 potential arrays we get 32 magic squares.

%C The suitable and non-suitable arrays are forming a certain pattern. There is an assumption that the sequence can be continued indefinitely.

%C Another problem is to find all the magic squares from the certain array. There is an implemented algorithm to solve it, but it takes quite much time.

%C Let K be the total number of magic squares composed of the numbers of the array for the rotations and reflections.

%C It was possible to obtain: for S = 949 K = 16140, for S = 1703 K = 5608.

%C For a fixed magic constant S, it is easy to obtain the set of n^2 consecutive primes that sum up to n*S, and in particular the smallest one: see the PROGRAM in A272386 which computes the smallest prime for any of the magic sums listed here (for n = 5), and A260673 for the n = 4 analog. - _M.
