Question:

Arrange the consecutive numbers from 1 to 10 in ascending order, then in descending order, so that 1 and 10, 2 and 9, 3 and 8, and so on, align vertically. Add vertically. Find the grand total. Finally divide the grand total by 2. Compare the result to the sum of digits 1 through 10.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10
10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1
