Elementary school Gauss was built different! While other kids were struggling to add numbers one by one, little Carl was like "I'm about to end this teacher's whole career." The famous story goes that when his teacher tried to keep the class busy with adding numbers 1 through 100, Gauss immediately realized he could pair the numbers (1+100, 2+99...) to get 50 pairs of 101, giving 5050. That's not just math—that's mathematical thuggery. The teacher probably needed therapy after witnessing a child's brain working at PhD level. Some kids played with toys; Gauss played with arithmetic sequences and made them his playground. No wonder he grew up to become one of history's greatest mathematicians!
