[Eric]

Add up all the numbers on a Roulette wheel: 1+2+3, etc, 1 To 36. Tell me what number you get.

I'm sorry, but I am a recent college graduate with a Gender Studies degree and $200,000 in debt.

Adding is hard.

Surely there's an app for that?

And had better be free!

Use your sliderule.

Slide rules don't add or subtract.

Only multiply and divide; which is addition and subtraction.

Of Logarithms.

I know it's hard for an Air Force guy to follow.

It just seems strange that something that only adds or subtracts can't add or subtract.

You can sort of fake simple addition and subtraction if you use the L scale which is graduated from 0 to 1 in one-tenth graduations and just treat it as a number line.

As always with a slide rule, you have to keep the scaling in you feeble little brain.

I would have killed for a L scale. All my cheap self could afford was A, B, C and D.

If you had a K scale you could find cube roots and cubes.

And, if the flip the slide over, you can do sines and tangent with the S and T scales.

I've never used a slide rule.

 

since we're talking a sequential series,  add first and last. 1+36=37

36 numbers in the series, cut that in half since we're making all of them equal 37 but adding the next highest and lowest together.

half of 36 is 18,

37 times 18 = 666.

did that come out right?

Still not sure why the teachers got upset at me in high school when they were the ones that made me show my work.

There was another side   ?  ?  ?

Should we add in the zero and double zero?

No, we may need something to divide with.
