# --description--
|
|
|
|
Given a 3x3 grid with one missing number (represented as `0`), return the missing number that completes the magic square, or `"impossible"` if no valid number exists.
|
|
|
|
A magic square is a grid where every row, column, and diagonal adds up to the same number.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--

|
|
|
`solve_magic_square([[2, 7, 6], [9, 0, 1], [4, 3, 8]])` should return `5`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
({test: () => { runPython(`
|
|
from unittest import TestCase
|
|
TestCase().assertEqual(solve_magic_square([[2, 7, 6], [9, 0, 1], [4, 3, 8]]), 5)`)
|
|
}})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`solve_magic_square([[0, 14, 12], [18, 10, 2], [8, 6, 16]])` should return `4`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|

({test: () => { runPython(`

|
|
}})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`solve_magic_square([[12, 17, 16], [19, 0, 10], [14, 13, 18]])` should return `"impossible"`.

|
|
}})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`solve_magic_square([[15, 35, 31], [43, 27, 11], [23, 19, 0]])` should return `39`.
