  1. It's not possible. The sum of 5 odd numbers is always an odd number.


  2. it is impossible because

    odd+odd=even

    odd+odd=even

    odd+odd=even

    3 even's plus an odd is always odd

    so it isn't possible to answer that question using 5 odd numbers

    you can answer it with 4 or 6 numbers

  3. a

    a + n

    a + 2n

    a + 3n

    a + 4n

    5a + 10n = 50

    a = 1 .... n = 45/10

    a = 2 .... n = 40/10 = 4

    2 6 10 14 18 are the five numbers

    Actually there are 4 answers. N can be 1,2,3 or 4 makeing a equal 8, 6, 4 and 2 respectively

    Well 5 if you count a = 0 and n = 5

    0 5 10 15 20

  4. 8+9+10+11+12=50


  5. I tried for 10 minutes and I give up.  I tried using a number more than once (because you didn't you say you couldn't do that), and even that didn't work.

    We are supposed to use those numbers right?

  6. Suppose, "1" is not amongst those 5 numbers. Then we have a sum of 5 odd numbers, i.e. the result is an odd number. So that it cannot be 50 - an even number.

    So 1 has to be amongst the subject 5 numbers. This means the other 4 numbers are odd and their sum is an even number. Once you add 1 to that even number, you'll get an odd number, but 50 is even.

    Thus, your task is not feasible to achieve using the pool of the numbers provided.
