Find 5 consecutive odd integers with sum of 70.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


There are NO such 5 consecutive odd integers.


The sum of a series of odd number of terms that are odd numbers is ODD number.


70 is NOT odd number.

In addition to the response from tutor @ikleyn, note that if the sum of 5 consecutive odd integers were 70 the middle one would be 70/5 = 14.

But 14 is not odd; so the problem has no solution.
