Strachey method for magic squares

The Strachey method for magic squares is an algorithm for generating magic squares of singly even order 4k + 2. An example of magic square of order 6 constructed with the Strachey method:
Strachey's method of construction of singly even magic square of order n = 4k + 2.
1. Divide the grid into 4 quarters each having n²/4 cells and name them crosswise thus

A	C
D	B

2. Using the Siamese method complete the individual magic squares of odd order 2k + 1 in subsquares A, B, C, D, first filling up the sub-square A with the numbers 1 to n²/4, then the sub-square B with the numbers n²/4 + 1 to 2n²/4,then the sub-square C with the numbers 2n²/4 + 1 to 3n²/4, then the sub-square D with the numbers 3n²/4 + 1 to n². As a running example, we consider a 10×10 magic square, where we have divided the square into four quarters. The quarter A contains a magic square of numbers from 1 to 25, B a magic square of numbers from 26 to 50, C a magic square of numbers from 51 to 75, and D a magic square of numbers from 76 to 100.

5. Exchange the middle cell of the leftmost column of sub-square A with the corresponding cell of sub-square D. Exchange the central cell in sub-square A with the corresponding cell of sub-square D.
