\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I presume E is really 2 + 4 + 6... instead of 24 + 6 + 8 ... like you wrote.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "O has 107 - 5 = 102 divided by 2 = 51 plus 1 = 52 terms. Likewise, E has 52 terms. Each of the terms of O is 3 greater than the corresponding term of E, hence O is larger by 156. P is larger than E by the last term, namely 106, hence P is smaller than O by 156 minus 106 = 50.\r
