15 11 5 4

PROGRAM

(PARI) {init_m(n)= m=matrix(n, n, row, col, row*(row==col)); next_entry=n+1; for(i=2, n, col=n-i+1; forstep(row=n, i, -1, m[row, col]=next_entry; next_entry++; col--); col=i; for(row=1, n-i+1, m[row, col]=next_entry; next_entry++; col++))} for(n=1, 15, init_m(n); print1(matdet(m), ", ")) (Rick L.
