Here's the code developed in A201 (on Apr 20, 2005), in class: 
class Magic {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int n = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    int[][] sq = new int[n][n];
    int i = sq.length - 1;
    int j = sq.length / 2;
    for (int k = 1; k <= n * n; k++) {
      sq[i][j] = k;
      int ni = (i + 1) % sq.length;
      int nj = (j + 1) % sq.length;
      if (   sq[ni][nj] != 0 
         || (i == sq.length - 1 && j == sq.length - 1)) 
      { 
        ni = i - 1;
        if (ni < 0) 
          ni = sq.length;
        nj = j;
      }
      i = ni;
      j = nj;
    }
    for (i = 0; i < sq.length; i++) {
      for (j = 0; j < sq[i].length; j++) {
        String num = "   " + sq[i][j];
        System.out.print(num.substring(num.length() - 3) + " ");
      }
      System.out.println();
    }
  }
}
