Russian Alphamagic Squares

Abstract

It has been twenty-two years since Dutch Mathematician Lee C. F. Sallows defined certain magic squares of numbers to be alphamagic squares. He then wrote: Alphamagic is the word I use to describe any magic array ... that remains magic when all of its entries are replaced by numbers representing the word length, in letters, of their conventional written names (thus one (1) becomes 3). Such an alphamagic array represents an extraordinary confluence of magic in the world of numbers with magic in the world of words
