HW for Week 5, What Is Math. Sharing your dreams

This week HW is to write a blog entry about your dreams. We are dream weavers and one way to see life is as a battle field or just a field where you grow veggies (pick the metaphor that speaks to you, or make your own). In any case it is a field where you are sawing your dreams or winning the battles and manifesting them in the physical world which is not as dense as it may seems. Let us then share our dreams in this blog. It will help all of us. You can also add collective dreams for humanity and the universe as well.

Rainbow method

Here is an explanation of the rainbow method.

The idea is as follows:

You can add a series of consecutive numbers (means the difference is the same:
like 2+4+6+...100 (difference 3) or
5+ 10 + 15 +....+1000 (difference 5) etc. by making bows where each bow consists of two numbers: first + last, then second + one before the last etc.

Thus all you need to do is to multiply that sum (first+last) times the numbers of bows which is half of the number of numbers.

Example:
3+6+9+12+15 has 2.5 bows and each bow equals 18 so the answer is 45 (you can verify)

or another example:
15+25+35+....1005 has 100 bows and each bow has the same sum of 1020 so the answer is 102,000

Remark. It is good if you play with small lists to practice the method. Like 2+4+6+8+10 or 5+10+15+20+25+30 to get the "feel"
