Fletcher's Checksum
The Fletcher checksum is an algorithm for computing a position-dependent checksum devised by John G. Fletcher at Lawrence Livermore Labs in the late 1970s. The objective of the Fletcher checksum was to provide error-detection properties approaching those of a cyclic redundancy check but with the lower computational effort associated with summation techniques.

“Now, good night! may Sweetest Slumbers
And soft Silence fall in numbers

Thus I end my Evening knell.”
