Abstract
A weakly pandiagonal Latin square of order n over the number set {0, 1, ..., n . 1} is a Latin square having the property that the sum of the n numbers in each of 2n diagonals is the same. In this paper, we shall prove that a pair of orthogonal weakly pandiagonal Latin squares of order n exists if and only if n . 0, 1,3 (mod 4) and n . 3.
