is there a brief written description of what this problem means? i don't want to watch a 17min video

@hrothgar oh wait, does this mean a 3x3 magic square of perfect square numbers? if so the title should be edited

"magic numbers" is not a mathematical term as far as i know... "magic square" is, as is "square numbers". The problem is often called "magic square or squares"

@hrothgar /Conflux/will-a-3x3-magic-square-of-distinct

will clarify it

What will you do if someone proves there are none? Resolve all NO? Or let them just go to 1% for eternity? Hmm. I notice this closes tomorrow or so... what is up with that?
