… 1000" in HOF.md The algorithm to "Find the sum of all the numbers with odd squares under 1000" is wrong. It was calculating the sum of odd squares under 1000.

The algorithm to "Find the sum of all the numbers with odd squares under 1000" is wrong. It was calculating the sum of odd squares under 1000.
The numbers with odd squares under 1000 are: 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29 + 31 = 256
The current code on the website calculates: 1² + 3² + 5² + 7² + 9² + 11² + 13² + 15² + 17² + 19² + 21² + 23² + 25² + 27² + 29² + 31² = 5456
Another possible solution is to change the message "Find the sum of all the numbers with odd squares under 1000" to "Find the sum of all odd squares less than 1000"
