In mathematics, a P-multimagic square is a magic square that remains magic even if all its If the squares are normal, the constant for the power-squares can be determined as follows: Bimagic series totals for bimagic squares are also linked.

This number is called the magic product of the square. Now take the "pairwise products'' in each row and add them all up. Do the same with the columns. A normal P-multimagic square is a normal magic square that is also magic Boyer points out on his Highly multimagic squares page that this square can be.
