9 clearly cannot be on a corner, so we have
X9X
X7X
XXX
Now, the only choices along the top are 1,2, so we have
192
X7X
XXX
8 cannot be on a corner, because then we'd need 2,2 or 1,3 twice. It must be on one of the sides:
192
87X
3XX
Now, 3+9=12 and 2+10=12
We still need to place 4,5,6
3,6,3 is out, so 4+8=12 makes for
192
876
354
Write the numbers 1 to 9 in the circles so that each side of the square adds up to 12. (Hint:put 7 in the middle)
Example: this is the grid u have to put the numbers in
O------O-------O
