Explanation:

Hello, if I take the following

2, 2, -5, 2, 2, -5, 2, 2, -5, 2, 2

The sum is 8*2-5*3=16-15=1 > 0

and

2 + 2 -5 < 0

2 - 5 + 2 < 0

-5 + 2 + 2 < 0

2 + 2 -5 < 0

2 - 5 + 2 < 0

-5 + 2 + 2 < 0

2 + 2 -5 < 0

2 - 5 + 2 < 0

-5 + 2 + 2 < 0

2 + 2 -5 < 0

2 - 5 + 2 < 0

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
