.
483%2F2 = 241.5.


The consecutive integers are 241 and 242.


They are the two pages' numbers.


----------------
If you take a usual book and open it, you will see that the odd page  (with the greater number)  is on the right,
while the even page (with the smaller number)  is on the left.

From this point of view,  the given condition is  WRONG:  you will never see the open book with the numbered pages satisfying the given condition.


        So,  formally speaking,  the person who invented this condition was heavily  WRONG.
