Wait... If you add all the numbers together, don't you get 0? Since for every number you're also adding the negative.
Technically (not really) sum of all positive integers results in -1/12, which is due to the nature of infinite series and MATH I no longer understand. So it stands to reason, that if you add a -1 multiplier and sum results of both series together, you would get 0! Approximately.
But 0! is 1.
