%N Primes p = prime(9*t+1) such that the 9 consecutive primes prime(9*t+1) .. prime(9*t+9) arranged in a 3 X 3 array have at least 2 equal sums along the rows, columns or main diagonals.

%C Primes are taken in successive blocks of 9 and arranged, for t>=0,

%C | prime(9*t+1) | prime(9*t+2) | prime(9*t+3) |

%C | prime(9*t+4) | prime(9*t+5) | prime(9*t+6) |

%C | prime(9*t+7) | prime(9*t+8) | prime(9*t+9) |

%C There are 8 lines altogether: 3 rows, 3 columns, and 2 main diagonals.

%C The sum of the first row is never duplicated since any other line has a greater sum.

%C The sum of the last row is never duplicated since any other line has a smaller sum.

%e 2 is a term since its block of 9 primes is

%e | 2 | 3 | 5 |

%e | 7 | 11 | 13 |

%e | 17 | 19 | 23 |

%e which has among its lines (3 + 11 + 19) = (17 + 11 + 5).

%e 67 is a term since its block of 9 primes (the 3rd block) is 67..103,

%e | 67 | 71 | 73 |

%e | 79 | 83 | 89 |

%e | 97 | 101| 103|

%e which has 67+83+103 = 97+83+73.
