<PRE><B>Question 273099</B>
Look at the patterns below.
1+3=4
1+3+5=9
1+3+5+7=16
1+3+5+7+9=25 
How many consecutive odd integers starting with 1 must be add to produce 64?
------------------
5 odd got you to 25
6 odd gets you to 25 + 11 = 36
7 odd gets you to 36 = 13 = 49
8--------------------49+15 = 64
======================================
