if you add the numbers individually eg top line 1+6+3+2+1+3 = 16 then add 1+6 = 7. Second line 5+1+0+1+1+8 = 16 ... 1+6 = 7. Third line 9+6+7+1+2 = 25 .. 2+5 = 7. It seems that all individual numbers equal 7. Even the 34 - 3+4 = 7

@MathPhysChemSkyNerd Where do you get 19 from? 4th line gives 16, the diagonals give 16 and 25. I can't see the 19 anywhere to be honest.

Even the 4 2x2 squares in the corners (where the numbers add up to 34 as well) add up to 16 with Twornpoobar's method.

Its not coincidence...
