Can you partition the numbers 1, 2, 3, ... n˛ in n separate subsets, each with n numbers, all subsets having the same sum?

Thanks for all your posts.

I talked to my friend about "my" principle and he showed me another way of filling the square. He said that there is a famous book with math problems and this square is one of them. I guess I haven´t invented the wheel, but maybe came close to making the tire. :P

I liked McWorter´s solution... well explained. :)
