"""What is the sum of both diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral?
|
|
|
|
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?
