\r\n" );
document.write( "There are two ways to get the answer.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  First way is to write the potentially good sequence \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "         35, 37, 39, 41, 42\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    and calculate its sum.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  The other way is to take the middle term of this sequence and to multiply it by 5.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3.  You can do it in both ways and compare your results.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    They must be identical, and it is your test.\r\n" );
