Claim: Hexagonal tortoise problem has apparent similarities to a magic square, which  typically deals with its construction, classification, and enumeration, and in which all the sums of six numbers of each hexagon are the same number, 93.
Evidence: The problem has apparent similarities to a magic square although it is a vertex-magic format rather than an edge-magic form or the more typical rows-of-cells form. The mathematical study of magic squares typically deals with its construction, classification, and enumeration. All the sums of six numbers of each hexagon are the same number, 93.
