A magic hexagon of order n is an arrangement of numbers in a centered hexagonal pattern with n cells on each edge, in such a way that the numbers in each row, in all three directions, sum to the same magic constant M. A normal magic hexagon contains the consecutive integers from 1 to 3n2 − 3n + 1. Normal magic hexagons exist only for n = 1 (which is trivial, as it is composed of only 1 cell) and n = 3.
