~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>The correct answer consists of these two statements</U>:


<pre>
    1.  The problem <U>HAS NO</U> solutions in consecutive  odd integer numbers;

and

    2.  There are <U>NO</U> such two consecutive odd integer numbers whose sum is 46.
</pre>


Indeed,  &nbsp;n + (n+2) = 46  &nbsp;implies  &nbsp;2n = 46- 2,  &nbsp;or  2n = 44,  &nbsp;n = {{{44/2}}} = 22, &nbsp;which is  <U>EVEN</U>&nbsp; integer number.
