Very Magic Square (Posted on 2003-11-21) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Can you create a 4x4 magic square that still works with the same total when turned upside down?

[A Magic Square is a grid of numbers whose rows, columns and long diagonals add up to the same total. All the numbers in the square must be different.]

[By 'turned upside down' I mean that if 106 is the number in the top left corner in the original magic square, then 901 is in the bottom right corner of the inverted square]
