47. Magic Pento-square

In a magic square, the sum of the numbers in each row, column and diagonal row is always the same.
We will start with the
most famous magic square, the Lo-Shu.

Lo-Shu


Lee Sallows had the brilliant idea to replace numbers by shapes. With all shapes in any row, column or diagonal row the same main-shape must be formed.


A magic 2010 !

Matthijs Coster from the Netherlands created a
competition for the Dutch magazine Pythagoras.

We changed the question in that competition for our own pentomino-competition.
As shapes we choose the polyominoes.
In the figure below, you can see a magical square with shapes (or a geo-magical square), of which one is a (red) F-pentomino.


geo-magisch vierkant

Find 11 other geo-magical squares of size 3x3, using  each of the other 11 pentominoes as a central piece once.
You have total freedom to decide on the main shape to be formed, as long as each row and column contains a congruent shape.
 The sizes of the 9 shapes must be 1 upto 9.

Each contestant earns eternal fame.
We will be content with a single solution already, we'll be thrilled though to receive a set of 11 solutions though.

Whomever send in a solution is free to request a
pentominoset. If you do wish to receive one, please let us know.
