You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you add up 9 odd numbers, you'll will always get an odd number.
But 90 is an even number, so it's impossible. Unless you mean a
funny answer like this:
8 groups of 1 box each and 1 group with 82 boxes, and if somebody
complains that 82 is not odd, you can say "That's an odd number of
boxes to be putting into one group".
