"Cushions" Halliburton is about to sink the winning ball and walk away with the championship.During his five turns with the cue, he sank 100 balls.During each turn, he sank six more balls than he did during his previous turn.Can you chalk up a win by calculating how many balls he sank during each of his five turns?

100/5 = 20

20+6 = 26
26+6 = 32

20-6 = 14
14-6 = 8

So far, 26 + 32 + 14 + 8= 80.
100-80 = 20.

8, 14, 20, 26, 32.
