Question 643340: All numbers can be written as the sum of two consecutive digits. True or False ?

False.
If the first number is even, then the second is odd. If the first number is odd, then the second number is even.
The rule is that
even + odd = odd
odd + even = odd
So you can only get odd numbers by adding consecutive numbers. You cannot get any even numbers.
