    The kata's testing code incorrectly assumes that there is only 1 possible row/column/diagonal sum for every magic square of a certain size. In fact this is already untrue for 4x4 magic squares.

    Its calculation is also flawed: adding a constant to all numbers will result in the "expected sum" to change by a different amount. Any minimum value other than 0 will cause the sum test to fail.

    This kata cannot be solved:

    ReferenceError: Test is not defined

    Seems like it does not work... at least.. for valid 3x3 square i got response: The sum in row 0 is incorrect.: expected 15 to equal 13.5

      And also, please check your verify function, is it worked correctly? (it seems like it works when min number starts with zero)

      It might be: var expectedSum = size*(minFound+(size*size-1)/2); instead of: var expectedSum = size*(minFound+(size*size-1))/2;
