Just as a guess, I tried:
+10+%2B+11+%2B+12+%2B+13+%2B+14+=+60+
This leads me to the conclusion that the
dates cannot be successive, in other words,
in numerical order.
--------------------
I will try:
+30+%2B+1+%2B+2+%2B+3+%2B+4+=+40+ too low
+29+%2B+30+%2B+1+%2B+2+%2B+3+=+65+ too high
+27+%2B+28+%2B+1+%2B+2+%2B+3+=+61+ OK
The dates are:
Feb 27
Feb 28
Mar 1
Mar 2
Mar 3
