The '''hexagonal tortoise problem''' ({{lang-ko|지수귀문도}}, {{lang-zh|地數龜文圖}}, a.k.a. '''jisuguimundo''') was invented by Korean aristocrat and mathematician Seok-jeong Choi, who lived from 1646 to 1715. It is a mathematical problem that involves a hexagonal lattice, like the hexagonal pattern on some tortoises' shells, to the (''N'') [[vertex|vertices]] of which must be assigned integers (from 1 to ''N'') in such a way that the sum of all integers at the vertices of each hexagon is the same.{{sfn|Choe|Choi|Moon|2003|pp=850}} The problem is similar to a [[magic square]].{{sfn|Choe|Choi|Moon|2003|pp=850}}
