# Interesting pattern on 5x5 table which has unique properties

## Question

[0,1,6,4,3]
[4,5,6,0,9]
[9,9,0,1,1]
[1,0,4,5,6]
[7,6,4,9,0]


This 5x5 table has unique properties.
Each number in a cell means :

The cell = last digit of (sum of its neighbour (including diagonals))

or

The cell = The remainder of the sum of its neighbour divided by 10

Here is another example

 [0,1,6,4,8]   [1,2,1,3,2]   [1,0,9,0,1]
[4,5,6,0,4]   [4,5,1,0,9]   [6,5,9,5,6]
[4,4,0,6,6]   [3,3,0,7,7]   [5,5,0,5,5]
[1,0,4,5,1]   [1,0,9,5,6]   [9,0,1,0,9]
[2,1,4,4,0]   [8,7,9,8,9]   [4,5,1,5,4]


What surprised me is, every table like this will follow this :

• The middle cell is always 0.
• Any other cell (i,j), (6−i,6−j) adds upto 0 modulo 5 , that means, (i,j) + (6−i,6−j) is completely divisible by 5.

I have checked this with my computer.

Why this happens ?
