Suppose that on Halloween night 20 students descend upon the MTC. To reward the students for studying on Halloween, Sibley gives them candy. Sibley gives two pieces of candy to the first student, four pieces of candy to the second student, six pieces to the third student, and so on, giving each student two more pieces of candy than the last student. This is the number of pieces of candy will Sibley hand out.
