please fill the spaces with suitable number in such a way that each row ,each column and each diagonal should get -2 in the magical square 4X4. 
 7     -1     space   space
 space  3      -2     space
 0     -2     space   space
-5    space     6      -8

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 7     -1	X	D	
 A	3      -2	C	
 0     -2	E	Y	
-5	B	6      -8	


Fill the positions step by step in the sequence pointed in these steps: A, B, C, D, E.

				
1) Fill A moving along the column				
2) Fill B moving along the row				
3) Fill C moving along the row				
4) Fill D moving along the diagonal SW - NE (southWest-northEast)				
5) Fill E moving along the diagonal NW - SE (northWest-southEast)	


After completing this you should be able (I believe) to find X and Y and to complete the assignment on your own.


After all, it is an entertainment problem !!
