Martin,

Please see these docs on the sum() function
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions#CommCareFunctions-sum.
You could add a validation condition to the last question (or any of them
if they're in a question list) that requires that the answer to the first
question be equal to the sum of the second through fifth questions.

Cheers,
Will

'Martin,

One other option would be to simply add the questions together with a plus,
as long as there is fixed number of quesitons.

You can do this by dragging each question over into the "calculate"
condition of the "cumulative_count" hidden value and placing a "+" sign in
between.
