What's the answer to this infinite sum?
First obvious answer gets 100 sats, first less obvious answer gets 200.
Hint, i was reminded of this question after reading this post on the problems of renormalization in general relativity.

I've been reading a bit about this topic, and the answer is -1/12 (Ramanujan summation), but to be honest, I don't quite understand why. Ha ha ha

That's correct. If you don't mind, I'll explain tomorrow why that is, i need to sleep now.
Okay, I'd like to know. But you have to explain it like I'm a 5-year-old. GN
Explanation by people who have better pedagogical skills than I do.
+ā
That's for the obvious answer.
Let's see if any one can find the correct counterintuitive answer as well...
answer = (1 + lastElement) * 0.5 * totalCountOfElelements
ā+ā+1
Or... A lot?š
Try again with ā-ā, and you'll get closer to the answer of -1/12.
According to DEEP THOUGHT it's 42.
-28+56
