Since the 2.0s were out of school again today, the PAX will attend in their place. The most well-known/circulated story about Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855), one of the greatest mathematicians, was from primary school where he quickly and accurately summed the numbers from 1 to 100 (= 5050). Credit: https://nrich.maths.org/2478. A small deviation from his formula is the sum of consecutive odd numbers and even numbers. We will need this for the backblast.
Sum of odd numbers from 1 to n for n=19.
N = # of odd numbers = (n+1)/2 = (19+1)/2 = 10
Sum = N^2 = 10^2 = 100
Sum of even numbers between n1 and n2 for n1 = 2 and n2 = 18.
N = # of even numbers = (n2-n1)/2+1 = (18-2)/2+1 = 9
Sum = N(n2+n1)/2 = 9(18+2)/2 = 90

Addiction is a very real thing for many of us. It’s not only drugs and alcohol. It’s food, hobbies, anything that we put in front of God. It takes only yourself to fall into addiction. It takes help to get out. Find an accountability partner who you are comfortable sharing your struggles with.
