2S = 100 sets of 101

hence

S = 100/2 sets of 101 = 50 sets of 101 = 5050

I wondered about the same thing so did the Maths (which is kinda the point of the meme) back from 5050 and it all checks out.

Oh ok. Yeah fair. I guess I'm used to the simplified version. Where it doesn't use the full list, just splits it in half. This method would also work for odd lists of numbers rather than only even. Makes sense.
