E = 20 + (1) - (6) + (11) - (16) + (21) - (26) + (31) - (36) + (41) - (46) =

A = 14 - (2) + (7) - (12) + (17) - (22) + (27) - (32) + (37) + (42) + (47) =

C = 14 + (3) - (8) + (13) - (18) + (23) - (28) + (33) - (38) + (43) + (48) =

N = 38 - (4) + (9) - (14) + (19) - (24) - (29) - (34) - (39) - (44) - (49) =
