Suppose that the numbers 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256
are placed into the nine squares in such a way that
the product of the numbers appearing in any row,
column or diagonal is the same. What is the value
of this common product?
Choose the correct option
A) 512
B) 4096
C) 8192
D) 16384
E) 32768
The product of the numbers in all three rows is simply the product of the numbers   1,2,4,8,..,256 or, equivalently, of the numbers 20in zero,21in first,22in round,23in third ,..,28in eighth. The product is   2-&gt;0+1+2+...+8 = 236in thirty sixth   so correct answer 4096
