6 mins -5 mins trying to figure out the "basic sequences" means -1 min on giving up and counting

Ahh interesting. Cool. Wouldn't have taken me 2 seconds to notice that without err learning it in highschool.

If you add all numbers 1,2,3,....98,99,100. Then the first and last number + 1 from 1 and -1 from 100 (1 + 99, 2+98 etc) =100. Then there are 50 pairs to 49 + 51, and 50 is left over. So 50 pairs * 100, +50.

Nice one, I think it was in my algebra class but I was too stoned back then, it's kind of ironic to call it HIGH school. Not much interested me back then, we need more money poured into our schools and more money for the teachers, and lower student/teacher ratio...Most of my teachers were like robots just there for the lousy paycheck.
