Predicting the Future with Math Tricks

You can literally predict the future with a simple math trick. It is called an

arithmetic sequence, and it is basically a cheat code for patterns. Imagine a list of

numbers where you just keep adding the same specific amount every single time.

Instead of writing them all out one by one like a maniac, you use a formula. You take your starting

number and add the step size multiplied by the position you want. If you start at

negative one and drop by two every step, you do not need to count to ten.

You just calculate it and hit negative twenty-one instantly. It is the ultimate shortcut for infinity.
