Diagonal Differences Diagonal Differences Examples I will try a 2X2, 3X3, 4X4 and 5X5 square in a 5X5 grid 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 2X2 square = 2X6=12, 1X7=7 12-7=5 3X3 square = 3X11=33, 1X13=13 33-13=20 4X4 square = 4X16=64, 1X19=19 64-19=45 5X5 square = 5X21=105, 1X25=25 105-25=80 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 2X2 square = 12X16=192, 11X17= 187 192-187=5 2X2 square = 4X8=32, 3X9=27 32-27=5 I noticed that no matter where in the grid the 2X2 square was the diagonal difference was always 5.
