#What is the sum of the numbers on the diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral formed by starting with the number 1 and moving to the right in a clockwise direction a 5 by 5 spiral
#Unless otherwise listed, all of my non-standard imports can be gotten from my pyClasses repository at https://bitbucket.org/Mattrixwv/pyClasses
