You will need to determine the numbers for each of the math problems or trivia questions labeled A through Y.   Then you will need to enter the answer in the corresponding box.   When all the boxes are correctly filled in, every row, every column, and the two diagonals will all add up to the same sum (the MAGIC NUMBER!).   Once you've determined the magic number by filling in five boxes in a row, you'll have a clue toward filling in the other boxes.
