Question 891433: There is five boxes,now tell me how to make 30 with these numbers used in five boxes (1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15)
Note : Numbers can be repeated. Answer by AnlytcPhil(1806) (Show Source):
I can't understand why this question is being asked so many times on here.
The sum of any odd number of odd numbers is always an odd number.
5 is an odd number. There are only odd numbers in the set, so it is
impossible to get an EVEN sum like 30. So there is no solution.
