There are lots of groups of 5 integers that add up to 63.  
However, there are no 5 consecutive integers or 5 consecutive 
even integers or 5 consecutive odd integers that have
sum 63.  The closest we can come is

9 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 = 63

Hope this helps.

Answer. Feb.28, Feb.29, Mar.1, Mar.2 and Mar.3 of a leap-year.


See the lesson
    - Spending money according to dates
in this site, where the problem was (much better) formulated and solved.

    Mr.  X  had a habit of spending money according to dates.  For example,  if date was  19  he was spending  $19,
    and if date was  15  he was spending  $15. 
    One night he calculated total spending of  5  consecutive days - Monday to Friday,  and he found that he spent  $63 in  5  days. 
    So,  identify the dates.  (Assume that everyday spending is integer number of dollars).
