%N A050257 Number of distinct antimagic squares of order n (modulo rotations and reflections).
%C A050257 An Anti-Magic Square (AMS) is an arrangement of the numbers 1 to n*n in a square matrix such that the row, column and diagonal sums form a sequence of consecutive integers.
%C A050257 Cormie et al. estimated that the total number of 5 X 5 antimagic squares is on the order of 10^17. However, computational evidence suggests that the number of such squares is on the order of 10^15. Out of 19 billion randomly generated 5 X 5 matrices with distinct entries in {1, 2, ..., 25}, only 6 formed antimagic squares (see Examples below). - _John M. Campbell_, Nov 27 2022
