This quiz is driving me nuts- apparently it's possible?

Can any of you work it out?

I saw an answer elsewhere with 144 as the answer for q 1, but my reading of q 1 is that it has to be the sum of all the answers including itself, so you would have to be continually adding 144, then 288, etc. If q 1 said “the sum of the other numerical answers” then it would work.

Posted too soon ... then it would work to have q 1 as a positive integer. But to get 144, are you doing the sum, or the product?

Sum. Negative numbers are needed. The sum of all of the numbers except q1 has to be 0 for that statement to work.

Thank you!! I can now relax as I understand puzzlers explanation.

Ah, now I see what you’ve done, nice
