1 + 2 + 3 + ....+ 19 + 20  = n (n + 1) / 2   = (20)(21)/ 2  = 210

 

Just as AWESOMEEE  has predicted......nice job  !!!!!

Notice Mellie, that the 39th number in row 41  is the same as the 3rd number in that row....= C(41, 2)  = 820 

Also notice  that, using the combinatoric,  [41 - 2]  = 39  tells us which element we're interested in....!!!!
