Experts discuss the magic hexagons and their properties.

Cool problem. I always doing it a bit unsatisfying that magic hexagons so trivially disallowed solutions that aren’t order 3. Starting at a different index is a nice modification, especially since for magic squares it’s an equally hard problem.

Another expert praises the article and its interactive elements.

I loved this article and its interactive elements. The potential field is an elegant abstraction which really elevates this from a math puzzle into something new.
