%N The Loh-Shu 3 x 3 magic square, variant 2.
%C The magic sum is 15. See Figure 1.2 on page 10 in Maya Ahmed's PhD thesis. This magic square is referred to Loh-Shu magic square and is attributed to the legendary Fu Xi (Fuh-Hi).
%C Sequence A033812 lists the same magic square with rows in reversed order, i.e., vertically flipped. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 26 2019
