It's impossible. Adding 5 odd numbers will always result in an odd number. 50 is an even number. Here's how. Let the five odd numbers be:

2a+1, 2b+1, 2c+1, 2d+1, and 2e+1; where a,b,c,d & e are any whole numbers. This guarantees that they are odd, since multiplying by 2 gets and even then an even plus one will be an odd. So we have 2a+1+2b+1+2c+1+2d+1+2e+1. Rearranging we have 2a+2b+2c+2d+2e+5 = 2(a+b+c+d+e) + 5. So 2(a+b+c+d+e) is even, then you add 5 and it's odd.
