I got this Math assignment and what I have to do is make a chart with 4 rows of 4. every side has to equal 34 frontwards, backwards,and all the way across. You can only use numbers from 1-16. Each number can only be used once. I can't figure it out. Does anybody have any hints for me..... or the answer?

hmm, why don't you kids do your own homework and maybe learn something, or at least have a little fun trying instead of having us do it for you? like those extra point quizzes someone posted up on here. man, find a search engine, look around, you might learn something.
