It would be better to add squared integer numbers n in the test suite, in which case, the number of divisors is odd. However, the test suite only contain non-squared integer n, in which case the number of divisors is always even.

Any particular reason why sqrt is forbidden?

Peng Liu on 31 Mar 2016

The divisors are symmetric about sqrt(n). I guess the intention to forbid sqrt might be to eliminate brute-force search approaches, which need to search over 1~sqrt(n).

Peng Liu ,thanks for the suggestion.I added a few tests.
James, the reason sqrt is forbidden is what Peng Liu suggested.

Hey, this problem is essentially the same as problem 2664 by Jean-Marie.

Good catch!
