Baguette magic Charleston is a unique and captivating dance form that originated in the 1920s during the jazz age in the United States. It is characterized by its lively and energetic movements, syncopated rhythms, and intricate footwork. The dance was heavily influenced by African-American jazz music and was popularized by African-American communities in Charleston, South Carolina. Baguette magic Charleston became synonymous with the Roaring Twenties and the carefree and vibrant spirit of that era. It was a social dance that was performed in ballrooms, clubs, and speakeasies, with couples dancing in sync, often in a circular or line formation. The dance was known for its improvisation and individual expression, with dancers incorporating their own flair and style.
This is an Order-16 pandiagonal pure magic square so uses the consecutive numbers from 1 to 256.
Each of the 16 rows, columns, and diagonals sum to the constant 2056
The E. S. each also sum to 2056 and the H. H. each sum to 2056 x 2.
The magic constant of a normal magic square depends only on n and has the value M n n sup2 1 2 For normal magic squares of order n 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 183 183 183 183, the magic constants are 15, 34, 65, 111, 175, 260, 183 183 183 183.

Unusual Magic Squares
This pattern, which is a torus drawn in two dimensions may be used as an order-5 pandiagonal magic square generator.
Examples:
Start at number 1, and follow the big circles, to generate the rows of the A. magic square (below).
Start at number 2, and follow the big circles, to generate the columns of the B magic square.
25 different pandiagonal magic squares can be formed this way by starting with each of the 25 numbers on the model.
Another 25 different magic squares can be constructed by forming the rows and columns with the numbers along the spiral lines. See Magic square C, below.
Actually, four magic squares may be constructed by following the radial lines, and another four by following the spiral lines, in either direction around the torus. However, three of these magic squares are just disguised versions of the fourth one, because they are rotations or reflections.
Magic Circles
These two diagrams, between them, illustrate some relationships in this order-4 magic square.
1 6 12 15 A. B.
11 16 2 5 1 + 15 + 4 + 14 -- biggest circle 1 + 15 + 10 + 8 -- 1 of 4 big circles
8 3 13 10 1 + 12 + 13 + 8 -- 1 of 4 medium circles 11 + 2 + 13 + 8 -- 1 of 4 small circles
14 9 7 4 1 + 6 + 16 + 11 -- 1 of 5 small circles
Thanks for the idea to W. S. Andrews, Magic Squares and Cubes, Dover, 1960.
Pandiagonal with Special Numbers.
Prime Number Heterosquares
The Order-3 heterosquare on the left consists of 9 prime numbers. The 3 rows, 3 columns and the 2 main diagonals all sum to different prime numbers. The sum of all 9 cells is also a prime number.
Is this the square with the smallest possible total with eighteen unique primes (including the totals)?
The Square on the right has identical features, but in addition consists of consecutive primes.
Is this the square with the smallest possible total with nine consecutive primes?

Double HH
This is an Order-16 pandiagonal pure magic square so uses the consecutive numbers from 1 to 256.
Each of the 16 rows, columns, and diagonals sum to the constant 2056
The E. S. each also sum to 2056 and the H. H. each sum to 2056 x 2.
Constructed in Sept./98 by E.W. Shineman, Jr. for myself. Thanks Ed.
Update: Sept. 14, 2001
After investigating the Franklin 16x16 squares, I did the same tests on this one. Here are the results of that test.
If there are 16 cells in the pattern, they sum to S. If there are only 4 cells to a pattern, their sum is S/4, and 8 cell patterns produce S/2.
The word All with no qualifier means that the pattern may be started at ANYof the 256 cells of the magic square.
| All rows of 16 cells. All columns of 16 cells. All rows of 8 cells starting on EVEN columns All columns of 8 cells starting on rows 8 & 16 All rows of 4 cells starting on EVEN columns All columns of 4 cells starting on rows 2 & 10 All rows of 2 cells starting on EVEN columns All 16 cell diagonals All 2x2 square arrays Corners of all even squares All 16 cell small patterns (fully symmetrical within a 6x6 or 8x8 square array) All 16 cell midsize patterns (fully symmetrical within a 10 or 12 square array) All 16 cell large patterns (fully symmetrical within a 14 or 16 square array) All horizontal 2-cell segment bent-diagonals All vertical 2-cell segment bent-diagonals, R, L starting on ODD rows All vertical 2-cell segment bent-diagonals, L, R starting on EVEN rows All horizontal 4-cell segment bent-diagonals starting in column 4, 8, 12 and 16 All vertical 4-cell segment bent-diagonals starting in column 2, 6, 10, 14 NO 8-cell segment (regular) bent-diagonals All knight-move horizontal 8-cell segment, bent-diagonals All knight-move vertical 8-cell segment, bent-diagonals |

Order-8 with embedded star
This order-8 magic square is composed of four order-4 pure magic squares. The embedded magic star is index # 16 and is super-magic (the points also sum to the constant 34).
The index numbers of the magic squares are:
upper left # 390 equivalent upper right # 142 the basic solution
lower left # 724 equivalent lower right # 271 equivalent
The equivalent solutions require rotations and/or reflections in order to match the basic solution # shown.
Fr�nicle, assigned these magic square index numbers about 1675, when he published a list of all 880 basic solutions for the order-4 magic square. For more information, see
Benson & Jacoby, New Recreations with Magic Squares, Dover Publ., 1976.
The magic star index numbers were designed and assigned by me and a full description appears at Magic Star Definitions.
Thanks to Arto Juhani Heino who e-mailed me this pattern on Jul. 15/98.
Order-4 square to order-8 star.
This diagram shows some relationships between an order-8B magic star and an order-4 magic square.
Both patterns are basic solutions. The star is index # 57 (Heinz) and the square is index # 666 (Fr�nicle).
Thanks to Arto Juhani Heino for this design.
Franklin 8 x 8 Magic Square
This magic square was constructed by Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790).
It has many interesting properties as illustrated by the following cell patterns.
Because the square is continuous, (wraps around), each pattern is repeated 64 times ( 8 in each direction).
It also has the property that any 4 by 4 square sums to the constant, 2056, as well as some other combinations.
It has many interesting properties as illustrated by the following cell patterns.

Reviews for "Baguette Magic: Charleston's Secret Weapon in the Culinary World"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Baguette Magic in Charleston. The service was incredibly slow and the staff seemed uninterested in taking our order or addressing any of our concerns. The food itself was also lackluster. The baguette was dry and stale, and the fillings were minimal and uninspiring. I expected so much more, especially considering the positive reviews I had read. Sadly, I won't be returning to this place.

Save your money and go elsewhere for a better sandwich.
