%N A130808 Magic side-sum constants of magic triangles of Yates using the numbers 1 to 9.
%C A130808 A magic triangle of Yates, with nine numbers a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i has the form
%C A130808            a
%C A130808           d f
%C A130808          e   g
%C A130808         b h i c
%C A130808 The corner sum C = a+b+c and magic side-sum S = a+d+e+b = b+h+i+c = a+f+g+c are related by C=3*(S - 15). Since here, 1+2+3 <= C <= 7+8+9, we have 17 <= S <= 23. Finally, an argument based on a contradiction proof eliminates the values of 18 and 22 for S.
