Pentagonal magic star (Philosopher's Star) and relationship with 3x3 magic square (Lo Shu)
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: It's possible to build a magical 5-pointed star using 9 consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression and repeating only the central term (e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,5,6,7,8,9). This construction is closely related to the magic square of order 3 (Lo Shu - Luo Shu or Saturn magic square), and has been named "Philosopher's Star", as it was inspired by alchemic emblems like the "Senior Adolphus".
