Describe as simple a recursive algorithm as possible for summing the first n

Make that 'numbers' into 'positive integers' and it'll make more sense
perhaps.

Well, you didn't specify if the numbers existed in a list or were
iterative, and you didn't specify language so:

It's recursive, the only number you know is n. Language is really
irrelevant. I asked for an algorithm. I'll give you a hint, it consists of
two sentences (if you do it in Prolog they are the program).

I'll post them tomorrow morning before I go to work.
