minus-squareTarquinn2049@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoOh ok. Yeah fair. I guess I’m used to the simplified version. Where it doesn’t use the full list, just splits it in half. This method would also work for odd lists of numbers rather than only even. Makes sense.

2S = 100 sets of 101
hence
S = 100/2 sets of 101 = 50 sets of 101 = 5050
