    Python offers a variety of challenging problems that test your problem-solving skills and understanding of algorithms. Below are some tricky programs with examples to help you explore advanced concepts.

    1. Check if a 2D List Forms a Magic Square

    A magic square is a grid where the sum of numbers in each row, column, and diagonal is the same.

    def is_magic_square(matrix):
    n = len(matrix)
    target_sum = sum(matrix[0])

    # Check rows and columns
    for i in range(n):
    if sum(matrix[i]) != target_sum or sum(matrix[j][i] for j in range(n)) != target_sum:
    return False

    # Check diagonals
    if sum(matrix[i][i] for i in range(n)) != target_sum or sum(matrix[i][n - i - 1] for i in range(n)) != target_sum:
    return False

    return True

    # Example
    matrix = [[2, 7, 6], [9, 5, 1], [4, 3, 8]]
    print(is_magic_square(matrix)) # Output: True

    2. Generate NxN Spiral of Prime Numbers

    This program generates a spiral matrix filled with prime numbers.

    def generate_prime_spiral(n):
    def is_prime(num):
    if num < 2:
    return False
    for i in range(2, int(num**0.5) + 1):
    if num % i == 0:
    return False
    return True

    primes = [x for x in range(2, n**2 * 10) if is_prime(x)]
    matrix = [[0] * n for _ in range(n)]
    directions = [(0, 1), (1, 0), (0, -1), (-1, 0)]
    x, y, d = 0, 0, 0

    for prime in primes[:n*n]:
    matrix[x][y] = prime
    nx, ny = x + directions[d][0], y + directions[d][1]
    if not (0 <= nx < n and 0 <= ny < n and matrix[nx][ny] == 0):
    d = (d + 1) % 4
    x, y = x + directions[d][0], y + directions[d][1]

    return matrix

    # Example
    spiral = generate_prime_spiral(4)
    for row in spiral:
    print(row)
