1. ## Prime Magic Square

Hello.

Wondering if anyone has a link or a solution to this problem, its from David Wells Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers...(from the entry on the number 144)
The smallest magic square composed of consecutive primes comprises the 144 odd primes from 3 upwards. The magic constant is 4515.
Ive tried searching online for this magic square but cant find it anywhere, does anyone have a web link or a solution to it?. (I would like to make the square and use it for music possibly, 12 squared is a good number/concept for music).

Ive tried looking at various methods for constructing magic squares but they all seem to apply to sequential numbers, I am guessing making squares of consecutive primes is more difficult?
