Eight Pointed Magic Star - No Solution (yet)
by
Erik Oosterwal
After running this problem through my
All Combinations Routine over
a long weekend I discovered no valid solution. Granted, the program had not
completed all the combinations, but based on the distribution of valid answers
to the 6 pointed star, I highly suspect that there are no valid responses
to this problem.
I will run various other number sequences (prime numbers, Fibonacci sequence,
integer offset, etc.) through at some later date to see if there is a simple
set of numbers which will work for for this star.
