Hi here is a problem for you to ponder on. Was asked in one of the 
ACM's competition I suppose. The 
problem is that consider a spiral matrix increasing in cloackwise 
fashion like this one.. 

7 8 9 ... 
6 1 2 
5 4 3 

The position of element 1 is considered to b (0,0). Write a code to 
find the position of the element entered. For example, if 3 is 
entered, answer is (1,1). If 5 is entered, answer is (-1,1)... 
(The element can be any positive number...)
