  Magic square - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The earliest magic square of order four was found in an inscription in Khajuraho, India, dating from the eleventh or twelfth century; it is also a panmagic square where, in addition to the rows, columns and main diagonals, the broken diagonals also have the same sum.
Odd and doubly even magic squares are easy to generate; the construction of singly even magic squares is more difficult but several methods exist, including the LUX method for magic squares (due to John Conway) and the Strachey method for magic squares.
In the magic square of order four, the numbers in the four central squares and one square at each corner are retained in the same place and the others are interchanged with their diametrically opposite numbers.

For example, the square array opposite is a magic square of order 3 (the order is the number of horizontal rows or vertical columns), the constant sum of which is 15.
The magic square of order 3 shown above is not panmagic, but the magic square of order 4 can be panmagic because the numbers in each of the four rows, four columns, and eight diagonals all could add up to an equal total.
A magic square is called bimagic or doubly magic if it remains a magic square when each element is replaced by its square; it is called trimagic or triply magic if it remains a magic square when each element is replaced by its square and its cube.

 MULTIMAGIE.COM - The smallest possible bimagic square
The known smallest bimagic squares are 8th-ordered, which is the same order as the first bimagic discovered in 1890 by Pfeffermann.
Because it is proved, as already seen, that a 7th-order bimagic square has to use a pair of bimagic series of 7 odd numbers among the 60 existing series, Walter Trump directly searched -as I did- squares using a pair of these series.
It means that the impossibility of a 7th-order bimagic square is not coming from an impossibility to arrange its squared integers in magic square.
