descr=%{ 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? } reflexion=%{ We can remark: 1 + (1+2) + (1+2*2) + (1+3*2) + (1+4*2) + // let x be the last calulcated number (1+4*2) (x+4) + (x+2*4) + (x+3*4) + (x+4*4) + // let y be the last calulcated number (x+4*4) (y+6) + (y+2*6) + (y+3*6) + (y+4*6) + ... } size=1001 max=size**2 n=1 sum=0 step=2 while n
