Create a summary duration without scheduling tasks???

Hi,

I am looking for some sort of way to create a summary line item that calculates the duration of the tasks below it...i.e i have 50 sub tasks, each taking 1 day each...so i want the summary to say 50 days...and after 3 tasks are done, i want the summary duration to say 47 days.

Heres the tricky bit though...i dont want to schedule / sequence the 50 tasks, as they can be done in any order...i just want them almost in a list form underneath the summary (all on same day) and i will close them off as they are completed.

Can anyone come up with an easy way to do this?

Regards,
Brian.
