+Starting with 1 and spiralling anticlockwise in the following way,
+a square spiral with side length 7 is formed.

+
+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%?
+
+Solution: We have to find an odd length side for which square falls below
+10%. With every layer we add 4 elements are being added to the diagonals
+,lets say we have a square spiral of odd length with side length j,
+then if we move from j to j+2, we are adding j*j+j+1,j*j+2*(j+1),j*j+3*(j+1)
+j*j+4*(j+1). Out of these 4 only the first three can become prime
+because last one reduces to (j+2)*(j+2).
+So we check individually each one of these before incrementing our
+count of current primes.
