I have been caught up in the muse of the symmetry of the magic square structure. I have yet to find someone who has developed a practical use for it ... thus the model building effort. Harvey Heinz has a great...

magic square - topographical model ...
I am 50 years old ...and am working physical models of the math structure called a magic square .. for my own interest.
My present problem is this. I have a topograhical model for the square ... where each cell in the square is a solid structure to the height specified by the value in that cell. Then conceptually I pour water on top of the square and see where the water collects ... in lakes as it were.

magic square topograhical model
I need help ... I have very rudimentary VB skills. I am working on a topographical model of a magic square. I consider each cell in the square to be a solid structure to the height specified by the value in the square. Then conceptually I pour water on the structure and wish to see where the water collects in "lakes" on the structure.
What I think I need is a program that will generate all unique paths from a cell in...
