To solve a 5x5 magic square, you can use the Siamese method, which involves placing the first number (1) in the middle of the top row. From there, you move diagonally up and to the right for each subsequent number. If this move takes you out of the square, you wrap around to the opposite side. If the square is already occupied or you move outside the square, you instead place the next number directly below the last placed number. Continue this pattern until all numbers from 1 to 25 are placed, ensuring that each row, column, and diagonal sums to the magic constant of 65.
