## Description
|
||
<section id='description'>
|
||
Starting with 1 and spiralling anticlockwise in the following way, a square spiral with side length 7 is formed.
|
||
37 36 35 34 33 32 31
|
||
38 17 16 15 14 13 30
|
||
39 18 5 4 3 12 29
|
||
40 19 6 1 2 11 28
|
||
41 20 7 8 9 10 27
|
||
42 21 22 23 24 25 2643 44 45 46 47 48 49
|
||
It is interesting to note that the odd squares lie along the bottom right diagonal, but what is more interesting is that 8 out of the 13 numbers lying along both diagonals are prime; that is, a ratio of 8/13 ≈ 62%.
|
||
If one complete new layer is wrapped around the spiral above, a square spiral with side length 9 will be formed. If this process is continued, what is the side length of the square spiral for which the ratio of primes along both diagonals first falls below 10%?
