Consider a triangular array of numbers where the outermost numbers in each row begin with 2, 4, 6, 8, $\dots$ (even numbers). Interior numbers are obtained by calculating the average of the two adjacent numbers in the previous row, then subtracting 1. Construct the triangle for rows 1 through 5 and find the sum of the numbers in the 7th row. Use the same approach to sum the sequence as in the original problem.
