magic square



I would like to know if the 6x6 magic square can be done using the
backtracking algorithm and if so how long would it take. I found a
link online that does this pretty quick though:

I've found some information on the siamese method and is this
related
t o the backtracking algorithm? I am able to code this pretty well.
Any info>?
