How did you figure that out?

anonymous · Answer

Can't be A.

anonymous · Answer

25 can't be the product of any consecutive odds integers.

anonymous · Answer

So would it be C?

anonymous · Answer

Correct. I think that is a little tricky. You don't have to solve.

anonymous · Answer

Okay. Well now that I am thinking about it, it seems like its B. But I will give you a medal anyway @tinybookworm

@cierra.whisper  Thanks. I am sure it is C. 30 = 6.5 and 6 is not a odd integer.

Oh okay thank you @tinybookworm !:)
