I was solving Total Diamonds problem from Dec long challenge Here is the link to my submission. My solution is getting passed for sub task 1 but I am getting WA in subtask 2, and TLE in 3. Anyone please help me to figure out what why I am getting WA.

The reason of WA in second subtask is integer overflow.

Try to exploit the fact that upper and lower triangles are similar for any N * N grid. And also observe that last column of N*N grid is somewhat being repeated in the (N+1) * (N+1) grid. Try to implement these two facts in your code.
