The Trivia Magic Square

You will need to determine the numbers for each of the "trivial" calculations labeled A through Y. Then you will need to perform each calculation and enter the answer in the corresponding box. The * represents the multiplication operation and the / represents division. Each number from 1 to 25 will be used just once. When all the boxes are correctly filled in, every row, every column, and the two diagonals will all add up to the same sum (the MAGIC NUMBER!). Once you've determined the magic number by filling in five boxes in a row, you'll have a clue toward filling in the other boxes.
