+# Task 1: Special Numbers
+# =======================
+#
+# You are given an array of integers, @ints.
+#
+# Write a script to find the sum of the squares of all special elements of the
+# given array.
+#
+## An element $int[i] of @ints is called special if i divides n, i.e. n % i == 0.
+## Where n is the length of the given array. Also the array is 1-indexed for the task.
+#
+## Example 1
+##
+## Input: @ints = (1, 2, 3, 4)
+## Output: 21
+##
+## There are exactly 3 special elements in the given array:
+## $ints[1] since 1 divides 4,
+## $ints[2] since 2 divides 4, and
+## $ints[4] since 4 divides 4.
+##
+## Hence, the sum of the squares of all special elements of given array:
+## 1 * 1 + 2 * 2 + 4 * 4 = 21.
+#
+## Example 2
+##
+## Input: @ints = (2, 7, 1, 19, 18, 3)
+## Output: 63
+##
+## There are exactly 4 special elements in the given array:
+## $ints[1] since 1 divides 6,
+## $ints[2] since 2 divides 6,
+## $ints[3] since 3 divides 6, and
+## $ints[6] since 6 divides 6.
+##
+## Hence, the sum of the squares of all special elements of given array:
+## 2 * 2 + 7 * 7 + 1 * 1 + 3 * 3 = 63
