Okay, the numbers are 5, 10, 17, and 27! What do you want to do with them? Since you mentions "sigma notation" I might guess adding but what exactly is your question?

Yeah little mistype there, the last number is 26 :P.

Anyways, here's an advice, find the difference between the numbers, any relation?
