<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \LARGE x] represent the largest of the three consecutive integers.  Then *[tex \LARGE x\ -\ 1] is the next smaller, and *[tex \LARGE x\ -\ 2] is the one before that.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ (x\ -\ 1)\ +\ (x\ -\ 2)\ =\ 417]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE x]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
