Who says they were attracted? If they were demagnetized they could just be placed next to each other. They're essentially just metal at that point.

Where did you find them? Chances are wherever you got them, they were already demagnetized then. Or they could just have their N and S labels wrong.

that is why. Educational use magnets are terrible. They're usually low quality. My teacher bought a 10 pack and none of them were properly magnetized. They lost their pull within two days.

they were bought for educational use, not designed for it. there was a set of magnets out as well that were from a couple years ago but from the same model, and still had good tug.
