Order 24 Hexamagic Series Impossibility Theorem. There are no order 24 hexamagic series. Proof. S1 = 6924 S2 = 2661124 ≡ 4 (mod 9) S3 = 1150602624 ≡ 0 (mod 9) S4 = 530657397964 ≡ 1 (mod 9) S5 = 254936338660224 S6 = 125974781254792924 From the Modulo 9/3 Tetramagic Series Lemma, this hexamagic series must have 8 entries of 2 (mod 3), 8 entries of 1 (mod 3), and 8 entries of 0 (mod 3). Let 3Aj+1, j=1..16, be the squares of entries that are 1 or 2 (mod 3). Let 9Bj, j=1..8, be the squares of entries that are 0 (mod 3). Let Tn = sum (Aj)n, j=1..16, n=1,2,3. Let Un = sum (Bj)n, j=1..8, n=1,2,3. S2 = 3T1 + 16 + 9U1 S6 = 27T3 + 27T2 + 9T1 + 16 + 729U3 (S2 - 16)/3 = T1 + 3U1 = 887036 ≡ 2 (mod 3) thus T1 ≡ 2 (mod 3) (S6 - 16)/9 = 3T3 + 3T2 + T1 + 81U3 = 13997197917199212 ≡ 0 (mod 3) thus T1 ≡ 0 (mod 3). T1 can't be both 0 and 2 (mod 3).
