Maybe something got lost in translation, and I am misinterpreting your question.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "By \"odd\" we usually mean not divisible by 2, and we call even the numbers that are not \"odd\" by that definition.
\n" ); document.write( "The odd numbers between 1 and 20 are:
\n" ); document.write( "1 (if you include the 1 and 20 in the \"between 1 and 20\"),
\n" ); document.write( "3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19.
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 are even.
\n" ); document.write( "If you add any 5 of those numbers the sum will always be odd.
\n" ); document.write( "It could be 49, or 51, but it can never be 50.
\n" ); document.write( "If you add an odd number (like 5) of odd numbers, the sum is always odd.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "You could add 5 numbers between 1 and 20 and get a sum of 50, but they cannot be all odd numbers. You could use 4 odd numbers and an even number, or 2 odd numbers and 3 even numbers, or 5 even numbers. No other combination will work.
