Question 231442
This cannot be the product of two numbers equalling 90, since one of the numbers must be even.  I conclude that it must be a sum of numbers equal to 90.


If it had been 2 parts, then you could say 37 + 53, where all the digits are odd numbers.  How about 33+57?  There are probably several solutions.


Now, if you want 9 parts, this is an ODD number of ODD numbers.  I believe if you ADD an ODD number of ODD numbers, you get an ODD number.  I can't think of a way to do this.


My answer is NO SOLUTION, although maybe I just haven't thought of it yet.  If you want to re-post the problem for another opinion, I promise not to jump in and answer it!!
