Post Mortem Hints
How does each pillar give me a single number?
1 of 6: The parchment also talked about the sum of the numbers.
2 of 6: Try adding some of the numbers together.
3 of 6: In particular, add up any row, diagonal, or column.
4 of 6: Each square of numbers is a "magic square", in which every row, column, and diagonal add up to the same number.
5 of 6: There are four pillars in the secret room, each with a different size of square. Read ahead to learn the sum for each of those squares.
6 of 6: The sums are 15 (for the 3x3 square), 34 (4x4), 65 (5x5), and 175 (7x7).
