The toughest thing is to not just think of whole numbers. My first thought would be to do this. But when I did that, it would either be over or under. Then I though, why not use decimals, those are consecutive. I started with 10.5 to begin with 10.5, 11, 11.5, and 12. 10.5+11 is 21.5 then it was 21.5+11.5 which was then 33. 33+12 gave the final answer of 45
