Is it a horse race with only 2 horses, one of the horses odds is a 100 to 1
but it has a fifty fifty chance of winning?

 

wow !!! .... It really sounds good to me .

 

Damn good answer Texcritter and it is relevant!

But this is the answer I was looking for-

If you add all the numbers from 100 to 1 the sum total is 5050.

A bit of trivia-
There is a well known story about Karl Friedrich Gauss when he was in
elementary school. His teacher got mad at the class and told them to
add the numbers 1 to 100 and give him the answer by the end of the
class. About 30 seconds later Gauss gave him the answer.

The other kids were adding the numbers like this:

1 + 2 + 3 + . . . . + 99 + 100 = ?

But Gauss rearranged the numbers to add them like this:

(1 + 100) + (2 + 99) + (3 + 98 ) + . . . . + (50 + 51) = ?

If you notice every pair of numbers adds up to 101. There are 50
pairs of numbers, so the answer is 50x101 = 5050. Of course Gauss
came up with the answer about 20 times faster than the other kids.

 

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do not go back and count them again.

How many did you count?

 

3 "F"s??

 

Most people at their first try count 3.

 

6 F's

 

I like that one

staying on the subject of numbers
What makes the characteristics of this number unique?
8549176320

 

Arranged alphabetically!

 

Correct

 

You get the coconut beetlejuice.6 is right.

Most minds don't see the "f" in "of" as it is seen as it sounds- "ov" so usually these Fs are missed.

Or something like that.
