Problem 28
Url: https://projecteuler.net/problem=28
Statement:
Starting with the number 1 and moving to the right in a clockwise direction a 5
by 5 spiral is formed as follows:
21 22 23 24 25
20 7 8 9 10
19 6 1 2 11
18 5 4 3 12
17 16 15 14 13
It can be verified that the sum of the numbers on the diagonals is 101.
What is the sum of the numbers on the diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral formed
in the same way?
