Heterosquare

A heterosquare is an $n\times n$ Array of the integers from 1 to $n^2$ such that the rows, columns, and diagonals have different sums. (By contrast, in a Magic Square, they have the same sum.) There are no heterosquares of order two, but heterosquares of every Odd order exist. They can be constructed by placing consecutive Integers in a Spiral pattern (Fults 1974, Madachy 1979).

An Antimagic Square is a special case of a heterosquare for which the sums of rows, columns, and main diagonals form a Sequence of consecutive integers.
