-However, this flaw is irrelevant to the validity of the result because this comparison is totally unnecessary and has no effect for even N (including 6). And for N < 6, the upper 32 bits of v2 are always 0s and the cast has no effect in any way. You have to be careful if you want to use this code for N=7.
+However, this flaw is irrelevant to the validity of the result because this logical operation is totally unnecessary and has no effect for even N (including 6) because complements of any rows never appear as columns in even order magic squares. And for N < 6, the upper 32 bits of v2 are always 0s and the cast has no effect in any way.
+This part of the code and other parts related to the self complemenarity check should be removed from functions MakeCols() and LastCols() in order to optimize the performance for N=6.
+We will gain 3% improvement of the performance by this optimization.
