Problem
The numbers from to
are arranged in a spiral pattern on a square grid, beginning at the center. The first few numbers have been entered into the grid below. Consider the four numbers that will appear in the shaded squares, on the same diagonal as the number
How many of these four numbers are prime?
Solution 1
We fill out the grid, as shown below:
From the four numbers that appear in the shaded squares,
of them are prime:
and
