%N Counterclockwise square spiral constructed by greedy algorithm such that the sum of the values of any two vertically or horizontally adjacent cells is unique.
%C Visually, we have a superposition of two images that we can separate by considering the parity of the sum of the x and y coordinates (see illustrations in Links section).
