Solution
Denote the squares with letters A to I. We have Then observe We then consider the parity of the numbers at corners. Consider the case if A is odd. (1) If B is also odd: Then since (2) If B is even: Since Since the above two cases are impossible, A must not be odd. It is even. Similarly, C, G and I cannot be odd. They are even. Fill in the 4 even numbers, 2, 4, 6 and 8, in the 4 corners and find the corresponding the values of B, D, F and H. Here shows one of the solutions:
