OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choose and how??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just try to add different no's nd see which 5 are the answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You said to choose and I have chosen.. Simple!! But I won't tell you.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the average of the 5 numbers has to be 50...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@raane if this is so simple then you would have been our Moderator.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Callisto have your tried all combinations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*you

OpenStudy (callisto):

Trying :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keep it up.. I am too..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try this: add 5 of -24, 2, -13, -33, -25, 39, -27 and 44 to get zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's the same problem, just slightly easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem was pretty similar to it that I posted one day, I have to check it in my question list..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we have two 17,s there, then it can be easy one.

OpenStudy (callisto):

I'm afraid that the answer is \(\phi\) :'(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't know whether that will help it here or not.. But this is what I can do in this, try more may be it is possible to choose 5 number here that add to give 250 here. have to go, Cricket Match (IPL) between Punjab and Rajasthan now.. Going for watching it.. Maybe you are right @Callisto .

OpenStudy (callisto):

Possible combinations: 94 26 26 52 52 94 25 89 25 17

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@Callisto i think 250 is replaced by 260

OpenStudy (callisto):

+ my sis gave me the wrong question!!! The set of numbers should be 26 52 37 17 75 89 23 94

OpenStudy (callisto):

So, the answer should be 26, 23, 89, 75, 37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, well you got it.. Nice..

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is okay @Callisto I am glad because output came for this question.. not \(\phi\).. :)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
