Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Imagine you have 5 boxes. There are 5 numbers
you can put in each of the boxes, so if repetitions
are allowed, the possible numbers total:

-------------------------
If repetitions are not allowed,
numbers are possible
--------------------------
Repetitions are not allowed
Now just get rid of all the numbers that end
with 2 or 4 and you are left with the odd numbers

( the addition is for ending in 2 OR ending in 4 )

possible numbers
-----------------------------------------
Hope I got it!
