> The number zero represents the center of the spiral

Let me suggest that you address the issue of the centre being
ill-defined under the condition that the number of columns/rows is
even. Given that altogether four positions meet the condition leaving
this question open will result in a multitude of different outputs
that are solutions of the task. In my opinion a programming quiz
should use a well-posed problem so that the different programs can be
compared directly. Especially if the problem can be solved by
constructing a clever mathematical formula which my intuition suggest
to be the case with the number spiral problem (I did not yet try to
verify this).
