This story happened in almost medieval one in the sixteenth century
Specifically, in a German village
There was a child alleged (Gaussian) and the Gaussian students are smart ... and intelligence of the kind of familiar Ripper !! ..
Whenever he asked the question was a math teacher Gauss is racing to answer the question
Deprives it of his classmates the opportunity to think of the answer,
On one occasion the teacher asked a tough question ... answered him Gaussian rapidly ... angering School !! ...
The teacher gave him a math problem ... and said: Find me the sum of the numbers from 1 to 100
Of course in order to distract from the lesson and give way to others ..
After 5 minutes exactly Gauss said edgy voice: 5050 !!!!!!!!!!!! ......
Vsfh teacher on his face !!!! .... and said: Are you kidding? !!!! .... Where your accounts? !! ..
Locksmith Gauss: I discovered that there is a relationship between the 99 and 1 and a total of 100 =
And also 98 and 2 equals 100
And 97 and 3 is equal to 100
Thus, to 51 and 49
I discovered that I got on the 50 pairs of numbers!
And so draw-year-old law to calculate this issue which
n (n + 1) / 2
He became the resulting 5050 !!!
Astonished teacher of this genius did not know he slapped at that moment
Big world: Carl Friedrich Gauss ... one month three mathematicians in history !!
