You cannot. The sum of any two odd numbers is even (O+O=E), the sum of any two even numbers is even (E+E=E) and the sum of an odd and an even (or even and odd) is odd (O+E=E+O=O). O+O+O+O+O = O+O+O+O+O = E + E +O = E +O = O Addition is commutative, that is, the order in which you add the numbers does not matter. Some trial and error will demonstrate commutativity, though a proof is more complicated.
