A343031 Table read by antidiagonals: T(n, k) is the sum of the numbers on the k-th line of length n when these lines are drawn on the square spiral, where each line contains numbers which sum to the minimum possible value, and each number on the spiral can only be in one line.

%N A343031 Table read by antidiagonals: T(n, k) is the sum of the numbers on the k-th line of length n when these lines are drawn on the square spiral, where each line contains numbers which sum to the minimum possible value, and each number on the spiral can only be in one line.
%C A343031 Lines of length zero (a single point) and one (two points) can cover the entire square spiral without missing any numbers.
%C A343031 For lines with even numbered length the pattern of lines is very regular, with all lines along the spiral lines of the square spiral, and regular triangles of uncovered numbers along the four diagonals of the spiral. See the linked images with even n.
%C A343031 For odd length lines the pattern formed is more random, with some quadrants have regions, or the entire quadrant, with lines that are orthogonal to the spiral lines, and the triangles of uncovered values becomes more random along the spiral diagonals. See the linked images with odd n.
%C A343031 For n>=2 the smallest spiral number that is not covered by any line is n^2+4n+4.
