akins56: Add just 5 of the following odd numbers together, and they must be equal to 30.....1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 NB. You can use a particular number more than once.
If you sum just 5 odd numbers it will always give you an odd number by mathematical law.
Thus 30 is an even number,therefore it is not possible to get an even number from adding together five odd numbers.
Absolutely CORRECT. YA!!! VERY INTRIGUING QUESTION,BUT TOUGH MATHEMATICIANS PREVAIL.
AKIN56 PLS See my ABOVE ANSWER AND Do WIRE ME my money SHARP SHARP.
NO DO OJORO, NO MAGOMAGO

Mathematical law says that: if you sum odd numbers in odd number of places e.g in 5places,you will get odd number as the answer.
But if you sum odd numbers in even numbers of places e.g in 6places you will get even number as your answer.
Absolutely CORRECT. YA!!! VERY INTRIGUING QUESTION,BUT TOUGH MATHEMATICIANS PREVAIL.

mathematics law shows that if you add up odd numbers and the total individual numbers that are there are still odd(5 in this case) the answer will remain odd while if u had said we can add 6 odd numbers then we will have only even sum.

Add 1,3,7,11, and 13 in base 5 and convert it back to base 10.
Explanation:
converting to base 5
1=1
3=3
7=12
11=21
13=23
adding up in base 5
110
converting to base 10,
30.

God, thank you for this gift. I promise to pay my tithe.
OP, thank you for this challenge you just met my needs. (Note: you wouldt believe me if I should tell you that, I am having no money on me and no hope of any money till ending of september. Time to pay for my real analysis textbook (Trench), pay up food debts e.t.c). God will bless you in million folds. Amen. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

converting the numbers into manual method of counting number. i.e
1= i
3= iii
5=iiiii
.
.
.
15=iiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Adding the numbers in column yield
8,7,7,6,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,2,1 and 1.
so, the addition of 8,7,7,6 and 2 yield 30.
Thank you.
