Need help Fast.

My wife has an extra credit problem due in her math class at 4:30p.m. this evening.  It will give her 2 ponts on her fianl grade, which she really needs.  We found the answer on the internet, BUT the teacher makes them explain how they got the answer and we can't figure out how to get it.  Here it is....

 

It's a Magic Square.

You have the numbers 1-25 and a square made up of 25 small squares.  Each number goes in one small square.  When they are all in the correct spot every colum and row (even diagonally) will add up to 65.

 

She knows that 13 goes in the middle.  Any help at all, is appreciated.

 

Thanks alot.
