9.4.4 Further Analysis, Partly Compact Magic Squares

Partly Compact means that, while starting with a 9^th order square divided into nine 3^th order sub squares, only the elements of the sub squares obtained by moving a window either horizontally or vertically will sum to the Magic Sum.

For Compact Magic Squares the elements of 9 x 9 = 81 sub squares will sum to the Magic Sum;
For Partly Compact Magic Squares the elements of only 3 * 9 + 3 * 6 = 45 sub squares will sum to the Magic Sum.

Although Partly Compact Magic Squares will not be considered in this section, the definition is useful to understand some of the pre selection criteria used in Section 9.5.
