Finding the difference between the sum of the squares and the square of the sum was pretty easy, but my solution probably has too much white space for some people.

#sum of the squares
some = 0
for i in range(101):
	some = some + i*i
 
#square of the sums
squar = 0
tempsum = 0
for i in range(101):
	tempsum = tempsum + i
squar = tempsum * tempsum
 
print abs(some - squar)

On another note, I noticed my site looks like crap in Internet Explorer, but grandmas on their 386’s aren’t visiting this site anyway.
