You can put this solution on YOUR website! find three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 157
------------
The sum would be a multiple of 3. 157 is not --> no solution.
49 + 51 + 53 = 153
51 + 53 + 55 = 159
----------------
This is also true for 3 even numbers, or any 3 evenly spaced numbers.
-----
(n-s) + n + (n+s) = 3n for any value of s.
