POTW #13 Grade 7/8 Question: thanks Fiona (from her CEMC exam, or something similar)

The positive integers from 1 to 576 are written in a 24 x 24 grid so that the 
first row contains the numbers 1 to 24, the second row contains the numbers 
25 to 48, and so on, as shown. An 8 x 8 square is drawn around 64 of these numbers. 
(These 64 numbers consist of 8 numbers in each 8 rows.) The sum of the numbers in
 the four corners of the 8 x 8 square is 1646. What is the number in the bottom right 
corner of this 8 x 8 square?

POTW #12 - Up for Question Ideas!

Remember if there are TWO POTW questions for the week, please try to do both. 

Fiona has mentioned she has some question ideas. I am always open to ideas for questions/solutions if you have them. Please see me if you'd like. (Mr. Milette)
