+ added Xoco's link. I did not really think about using the magic rule outside of it, very unusual idea :) thanks so much for the kind comments :)

One of the stranger puzzles I have solved in a while--and in a good way. Many times when I solve, I find puzzles to be rather similar to other puzzles solved in the past. For some reason, this one felt unique in a fun way. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it. I started with color the palindrome, then mostly used the 18 rule to eliminate numbers outside the magic square, then use the rule of 18 inside the square at the end. Was that the intended path? Maybe it was fun because there are so many solve tree options.
