No, it is not possible.
This problem was solved by tutor @greenestamps some time ago at this forum.
The answer by @MathLover1 is INCORRECT, in that sense that
her reasoning is I R R E L E V A N T to the solution of the problem.
This lady has quite limited knowledge in Math (despite her nick-name at this forum),
but it does not stop her to answer questions INCORRECTLY and to solve problems INCORRECTLY
every day several times per day in the areas, where she is not competent.
