The neat magic square featured on this stamp was created by Brazilian mathematician Inder Taneja. This square, called IXOHOXI magic square, not only shows common properties like other magic squares, as well as being pandiagonal, but also include extra properties such as symmetries, rotations and reflections.

Six Points on a Circle

Take 6 points on a circle such that every second edge (green chords) has length equal to the radius of the circle. Then the midpoints of the other three sides of the cyclic hexagon form an equilateral triangle.
