The question is somewhat unclear. For example, the number 30 works because 2+3+5 = 10 (even though it is not "between" 30 and 40). The ambiguity of the question is the fact that 32 = 2^5, and 2+2+2+2+2 = 10. Which one is it?

highlight_green%2832%29 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

10 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2


highlight_green%2836%29 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

10 = 2 + 2 + 3 + 3
