It was the last lesson of the day. The students felt tired. Some were writing. The rest were reading. Still others were chatting. Their maths teacher wanted to keep them quiet and busy. He asked them to write down all the numbers from 1 to 100, and then add them up. Soon Gauss got the answer, and put up his hand. The teacher asked him to tell the sum. Gauss said, “It's 5,050.”
“That was quick,” said the teacher. “Perhaps you can tell us how you got the answer.”
Gauss said, “It is easy. You see, if you add 100 to 1, you get 101. 99 and 2 is 101. When you get to 51 and 50, you have 101 fifty times. Fifty times 101 equals 5,050. That's the answer.”
