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 both diagonals is 101.
What is the sum of both diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral formed in the same way?
p28()->p28(3,1). p28(1003,T)->io:format("~w~n",[T]); p28(N,T)-> p28(N+2,T+lists:sum(lists:seq(N*N,N*N-3*(N-1),1-N))).
#Enumerable def p28 sum=1 (3..1001).step(2) do |i| sum+=(0..3).map{|j|i**2-j*(i-1)}.sum end puts sum end
