The punchline here is a mathematical pun that would make Gauss roll in his grave. The sum of integers from 1 to 100 is actually 5,050 (calculated using the formula n(n+1)/2). But our protagonist interpreted "50-50" as odds or probability, essentially saying "it's a coin flip whether I can do this calculation." The irony being they accidentally gave the correct first two digits while completely missing the point. This is what happens when you skip arithmetic day.
