document.write( ".<BR>\n" );
document.write( "The sum of any two ODD numbers is always EVEN. <BR>\n" );
document.write( "The sum of any two EVEN numbers is always EVEN. <BR>\n" );
document.write( "It follows that the sum of any four ODD numbers is always EVEN.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "The sum of an EVEN number and an ODD number is always an ODD number.<BR>\n" );

document.write( "Thus the sum of five ODD numbers is always ODD. Since 50 is EVEN, is cannot be the sum of five odd numbers.<BR>\n" );
