How to produce pan magic 15x15 squares?
15x15 is a ‘difficult’ size. That’s why the method of construction to produce panmagic 15x15 squares is (a bit)
more complicated than the method to produce panmagic 5x5 or panmagic 9x9 squares.
I use the digits 0 up to 14 instead of 1 up to 15, because it is easier to calculate with.
The difficulty is the construction of the first row (after that it is not difficult anymore). The key to produce the
first row is the rectangle of 3x5 or 5x3:
Rectangle 3x5 = Rectangle 5x3

The magic sum of 0 up to14 is 105. Notify that in the rectangle the sum of each column of 5 digits is (5/15 x 105 =) 35
and the sum of each row of 3 digits is (3/15 x 105 =) 21. Fill in the digits as follows:
Fill in the first row acording to rectangle 3x5

Rows 2 up to15 can be produced by moving the first row each time 4 places to the left.
