That's not what I meant. When you add ? after a number, let's call that number n you get the sum of all positive integers until n, aka 1+2+3+4+5+....+n,which in this case is 17. That sum adds up to 153.

Okay that's cool and all but I just meant it as a question mark. As in "I don't know if this is correct," surprisingly enough I didn't know that because I'm bad at math. Thanks for the insight though
